Ipfs file uploading issue

Question

I'm using IPFS service for file storage. From Node.js application I can initialize IPFS_Node and using this Node upload file.

var ipfs = ipfsClient({
            // the hostname (or ip address) of the endpoint providing the ipfs api
            host: '*****************',
            // the port to connect on
            port: '443',
            // 'api-path': '/api/v0/',
            // the protocol, https for security
            protocol: 'https',
            // provide the jwt within an authorization header
            headers: {
                authorization:
                    'Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ**********************'
            }
        });
    for await (const response of ipfs.add(file.buffer)) {
            console.log(response);
            res.json({ response: response, status: 200 });
        }

Ipfs add throws Error Response

HTTPError: Unauthorized

Answer 1

Not sure if this helps, but if you are using latest version of ipfs-http-client, then ipfs.add returns AsyncIterable<Object> instead of Promise now.

Try something like:

const all = require('it-all')
const data = await all(ipfs.add(file))
console.log(data)

I have found an error the issue is ipfs-http-client version (^44.0.1). When I update it into the latest version (^44.1.1) error resolved.

Change this: "ipfs-http-client": "^44.0.1"

To: "ipfs-http-client": "^44.1.1",
