Offline IPNS should resolve dnslinks #3577

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

An offline node (ipfs daemon --offline) refuses to serve e.g. /ipns/ipfs.io because the resolver acts as completely offline.

In the optimal case, if we have already have all the required data, it should still serve that thing, since it doesn't require any routing, IPNS lookups, or Bitswap trades.

It requires DNS lookup.

ghost commented 7 years ago

I know, I was just thinking that the intention behind --offline is simply to avoid any swarm connections, and that DNS lookups would generally be okay.

Kubuxu commented 7 years ago

Probably.

This seems related to #3861
