Description
This PR fixes #1316, by adding an educational error page that appears when users incorrectly use
ipfs://protocol with domain names instead ofipns://.Problem
Users often confuse
ipfs://andipns://protocols, usingipfs://example.comwhen they should useipns://example.com. This creates confusion and perpetuates incorrect URIs in documentation and blog posts.Solution
ipfs://protocolTesting
Tested on Chromium with the following URLs:
ipfs://example.com→ Shows error page → Redirects toipns://example.comipfs://docs.ipfs.tech→ Shows error page → Redirects toipns://docs.ipfs.techipfs://ipfs.io→ Shows error page → Redirects toipns://ipfs.ioipfs://QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco→ Works normally (valid CID)Screenshots
