This defines a multiaddr URI scheme. This would enable HTTP redirects to other hosts and resources. In Go, this would enable a single
http.RoundTripper
to work on any transport. In JS, we would be able to create a newRequest
with this URI and use it with a custom fetch to make HTTP requests to any transport.Example:
If we approve this, we should likely register this scheme with IANA. PL has registered other schemes in the past, so I think it is doable (
ipfs
andipns
).
