dwebx-link-resolve

resolve urls, links to a dwebx key using common methods

Supports

• Common dwebx key representations (dwebx://, etc.)
• URLs with keys in them (dwebx.org/6161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161)
• ddrive-key or dwebx-key headers
• Url to JSON http request that returns {key: <dwebx-key>}
• DWebX-DNS resolution (via dwebx-dns)

Install

npm install dwebx-link-resolve

Usage

var dwebxResolve = require('dwebx-link-resolve')

dwebxResolve(link, function (err, key) {
  console.log('found key', key)
})

API

dwebxResolve(link, callback(err, key))

Link can be string or buffer.

Resolution order:

1. Validate buffers or any strings with 64 character hashes in them via dwebx-encoding
2. Check headers in http request
3. Check JSON request response for key
4. DWebX-DNS resolution via dwebx-dns

Refering to dvaults

Trying to tighten up a bit dwebx-link-resolve (and its dependencies dwebx-dns and dwebx-decode). I am noticing a few inconsistencies as I'm writing dwebx-shell.

Ideally, I'd like to launch dwebx-shell like this:

$ dwebx-shell dwebx://40a7f6b6147ae695bcbcff432f684c7bb5291ea339c28c1755896cdeb80bd2f9+5/path4

and have it open the dwebx at version 5 and change directory to /path4.

Currently dwebx-shell google-fonts-kewitz.hashbase.io/fonts/ fails somewhere in dwebx-link-resolve.

Examples

Note that dwebx-link-resolve also supports other methods, such as detection of dwebx keys in paths and http headers.

1. browsers expect http and https schemes with traditional hostname, not a dwebx key
2. browsers expect http and https schemes with traditional hostname, no +5 (version) support
