To maximize compatibility with standard tools, IPFS needs an HTTP API specification that uses standard HTTP idioms and payload encoding. -The [Reframe spec](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/main/reframe/REFRAME_PROTOCOL.md) for delegated content routing is an experimental attempt at this, -but it has resulted in a very unidiomatic HTTP API which is difficult to implement and is incompatible with many existing tools. -The cost of a proper redesign, implementation, and maintenance of Reframe and its implementation is too high relative to the urgency of having a delegated content routing HTTP API. -Note that this does not supplant nor deprecate Reframe. Ideally in the future, Reframe and its implementation would receive the resources needed to map the IDL to idiomatic HTTP, -and implementations of this spec could then be rewritten in the IDL, maintaining backwards compatibility. +Previously the Reframe spec for delegated content routing was an experimental attempt at this, but has been deprecated for two Kubo releases(v0.17,v0.18). Reframe had resulted in a very unidiomatic HTTP API which was difficult to implement and was incompatible with many existing tools. +The cost of a proper redesign, implementation, maintenance of Reframe, and its implementation were too high relative to the urgency of having a delegated content routing HTTP API. All refererences to Reframe in code and specs were removed in Kubo release v0.19 with [Reframe cleanup](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/issues/9479). -We expect this API to be extended beyond "content routing" in the future, so additional IPIPs may rename this to something more general such as "Delegated Routing HTTP API". +We expect this API to be extended beyond "content routing" in the future, so additional IPIPs may rename this to something more general such as "Routing V1". ## Detailed design
