Document need for /wss on delegates list #77

Open lidel opened 3 years ago

lidel commented 3 years ago

Given https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/pull/3588 we should ensure pinning services are useful in browser context. While we could add an endpoint for direct DAG upload, we already have all necessary infrastructure for running bitswap session over websockets.

We should add some text to the spec indicating that /wss multiaddr on PinStatus.delegates list is highly recommended for public pinning services, as it maximizes utility beyond regular TCP/UDP and enables interaction with thin clients running on web pages.

@obo20 we started formalizing this, nothing urgent but do you mind sharing thoughts on this? Are there relevant docs you could use when setting this up, or should we create them to make it easier for pinning services to set this up?
