ipfs

Something I realized building lemon3. Over the last couple of years I've searched again and again how to attach metadata to a file uploaded to IPFS. For example a mime-type, a client could use to decide if it wants to download the whole file or not.

I have not found a satisfactory answer. But now I think that the answer is IPLD: A header (with all the metadata you want) linking to the actual content. You can share the header CID, you can recursively pin the header CID. And a client can fetch it, before accessing the main content.
