IPIP Protocol Improvements: Review & Working Session
summary
IPFS now ships trustless gateways that serve partial CAR responses so clients fetch multiple CID-addressed blocks and byte ranges without downloading whole directories; implementations exist in Kubo and Rainbow and a public bad‑bits blocking list is live. A gateway conformance test suite verifies HTTP behavior. Work in progress includes a UnixFS spec, a proposed path affinity hint for better retrieval, and an HTTP-as-provider idea; gaps remain for delegated puts and an Amino DHT specification, tracked on the ipfs/specs repo.
