IETF draft: Content-Digest and Want-Content-Digest #185

@da2x

Description

@da2x

A heads up about draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers-06:

This document defines HTTP fields that support integrity checksums. The Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP representations.
The Content-Digest field can be used for the integrity of HTTP message content. Want-Digest and Want-Content-Digest can be used to indicate a sender's desire to receive integrity fields respectively.

It’s an IETF standardization effort of interest to IPFS integration efforts into web browsers. The standardized Content-Digest: cid=bafy.. response header could replace x-ipfs-path: /ipfs/bafy... The standardized Want-Content-Digest: cid request header could be used by clients to indicate they support IPFS.
