All versions

Type:

  • "feature": Json output of progress information for the commands ipfs get / ipfs cat

Description:

Would be nice when progress information which are reported by the commands ipfs get and ipfs cat are also be encoded in json (like other commands ipfs pubsub sub "--enc:json". Background: Then it is easier to parse the progress. Now it is almost impossible.
