POST-only HTTP API

go-ipfs 0.5+ blocks GET commands on the API port (https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/7097), requiring every command (RPC) to be sent as HTTP POST request. See API reference docs: https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/api/http/

Testing

Download links for go-ipfs 0.5+ are available at https://dist.ipfs.io

You can also test using an ephemeral Docker container:

$ docker run --rm -it --net=host ipfs/go-ipfs:v0.6.0

@NadeeraM Jitpack was using Java 8. I’ve fixed that and bumped the version to v1.3.2

@lidel could you get someone with admin access to circle CI to disable it for java-cid please? https://app.circleci.com/settings/project/github/ipld/java-cid

@ianopolous I clicked on “Stop building” I hope that is what was needed (I don’t reallyl have a clue about CircleCI).
