Ensure /ipfs/cid?format=raw is pass-throughh  #165

Open
@lidel

Description

(iiuc) an incoming request for /ipfs/cid/subpath/file?format=raw is translated to backend request for /ipfs/cid/subpath/file?format=car&dag-scope=block and the returned CAR includes blocks for traversing /cid/subpath and then the root block of /file.

When a block for CID is requested directly (no subpath) we are wasting resources on CAR wrapping.

Proposed improvement

If requested format is a single block (application/vnd.ipld.raw), and there is no subpath (only direct CID /ipfs/cid), bifrost-gateway should do a pass-through request, where the backend gets exactly the same request for a single block (application/vnd.ipld.raw):

/ipfs/cid?format=raw/ipfs/cid?format=raw
