There are no existing protocols supported in libcurl that are just "wrappers
around HTTP". Unless you count HTTPS as a wrapper.

I'm just not getting it. How is it "IPFS" at all if it just wraps HTTP?

Also, why does it need to be in libcurl in the first place if its just
basically a URL rewrite and then everything is HTTPS? Surely that can be done
in the application using libcurl?
