I wish I could use this library but because it does not support go's
context.Context, I can't reliably use it. This library performs operations over a network and it is common practice to use a context so that network operations can be cancelled by the context, either by manual cancellation or deadline. The gohttppackage supports contexts with functions likehttp.NewRequestWithContext.Even if I use contexts and goroutines to disregard the response of a shell request when a context times out for example, there is no way to stop the execution of a function. If I were to be downloading content from ipfs, it would continue downloading despite the context cancelling, and the program continuing running.
The only workaround I can see is manually setting a timeout on the http client, but this is bad practice and not predictable.
