Dat clone specific revision/version #85

  1. If you were about to implement cloning specific version what would be your steps (so some dev may follow them)?
  2. How versioned dat-link should look like? E.g. dat://ff93418b1759242276eca588ebdff2b90da14d3ad9d444dbc9cc0b5bbbd5fafc?version=xx may be not a good idea if you consider dat://ff93418b1759242276eca588ebdff2b90da14d3ad9d444dbc9cc0b5bbbd5fafc/index.html?version=xx where version query parameter is used inside index.html (index.html may be interpreted as a html page in some browser or over some http gateway).

Hi, I couldn't find the docs for it anywhere, but a versioned dat URL looks like:

dat://KEY_HERE+VERSION_HERE/file.html

That is, the version is optionally specified by having a + after the key and the version name before the path.

You can see it being used in modules that parse dat URLs

Thanks. Interesting that version may not only be numeric, but also a string like latest or weird c1 (according to test.js).

Yeah, I haven't seen too much in relation to how versioning works. :/
