[help required] A lot of websocket connection errors

[ohager]

• Version: from 0.14.3 to 0.15.2

• Platform: In Browser (Chrome 102.0.5005.61, Linux Ubuntu 20.04)

• Subsystem:

Severity:

Medium - A non-essential functionality does not work, performance issues, etc.

Description:

I use ipfs-core package via jsdelivr and since a few days I see a looooot of WS connection issues on local and production system. I tried several versions, but still same result. It seems that ipfs is working, but slowing down performance significantly.

Probably, this is a configuration issue... but not sure what shall I do. This came out of a sudden...

Steps to reproduce the error:

I just load the dist package and start the node programmatically using almost the default config:

        const node = await window.IpfsCore.create({
          repo: "my-repo",
        });

This is a misconfiguration, we shouldn't be passing WebSocketsFilters.all as the filter on this line, instead passing no args which will use the default filter - e.g. only try to connect to wss: addresses in browsers.

This will get fixed in the next release.
