Let the webserver redirect the uri without version to the most recent one. Problem solved. Remember, redirects are valid, logical uris.
- iggldiggl 5y agoWhich still requires some additional configuration effort compared to today, though.
- mro_name 5y agolol, you mean everything is more work than just letting things crumble. Fine then, but not cool.
- iggldiggl 5y agoMe updating page contents happens (relatively) often. Me re-working my whole page structure which would break existing conventional URLs happens very rarely. Because conventional URLs don't care about updates to a page's contents, this means the common case of only updating pages requires no additional configuration. I only need to invest additional time setting up redirects on the rare occasion that I actually do re-arrange file names etc. IPFS URLs on the other hand are revision-specific, so they break (or rather actually get out of date and eventually break if at some point in the future nobody has a copy of that version cached/pinned somewhere any more) as soon as I fix even one tiny little typo, so I need to set up some sort of URL mapping service right from the start.
