Content addressed links at least make this possible. With http you have to reach a particular server. If that server is down, the link is broken. With ipfs all you need is at least one machine on the entire network to be serving a file and the link will work and as an added bonus you can verify the hash of what you get so a mitm attack on that link is impossible.
- kelseydh 11y agoVery interesting. Do you think ipfs could be used to mimic a server to host a static website that could be loaded by a browser?
- ianopolous 11y agoYou mean like this? https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNhFJjGcMPqpuYfxL62VVB9528NXqDNMFXiqN5bgFYiZ1/its-time-for-the-permanent-web.html https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNhFJjGcMPqpuYfxL62VVB9528NXqDNMFXiqN5... :-) IPFS includes an optional http gateway to give the traditional web access to IPFS before browsers support the IPFS protocol natively.
