Updating `cat` uri to new standards #18

Open iamthenoah opened 2 years ago

iamthenoah commented 2 years ago

As mentioned in this issue a while back, calling the cat endpoint as /api/v0/cat/<cid> leads to a 405 response and should be updated as /api/v0/cat?arg=<cid> as mentioned in the documentation.

The actual error message
[ipfs-mini] status 405: /api/v0/cat/ is an undocumented behavior, use /api/v0/cat?arg= instead

Also, it seems as request to the cat endpoint is now POST and not GET anymore.

Side note

I didn't spend too much time on this PR and some tests fail or hang but this seems to be because either my setup is wrong or because they are outdated (similar effect on master branch). In any case, cat and catJSON tests passed successfully.
