chunk-fetch provides a browser-compatible fetch() API for HTTP requests to IPFS, enabling interaction with IPFS content using familiar fetch patterns. The library supports HEAD, GET, POST, and DELETE methods with IPFS-style URLs (ipfs://). Hostname can be '_' to ignore hostname, or a CID for direct content retrieval. Additional headers like X-Copy, X-Timer, and X-Opt control behavior. Version 25.0.4 is current. It differentiates from other IPFS HTTP clients by mimicking the Web Fetch API exactly, reducing learning curve for developers already familiar with fetch. Release cadence is irregular; maintenance is active with recent updates.
