Replace petnames with `POST hyper://localhost` #29

Closed RangerMauve closed 1 year ago

The concept of using petnames for public keys in the hostname conflicts with custom DNS resolvers like handshake which can register top level names.

In js-ipfs-fetch we removed the petname functionality with an explicit call to POST ipns://localhost?key=KEY_NAME instead of auto creating with GET ipns://KEY_NAME/

I think we should do something similar for hyper-fetch and other protocols. (like bittorrent)

This has been done as of v9+ of hypercore-fetch
