Summary

The Hypercore Protocol uses a URL format as follows:

These segments are defined as follows:

  • hypercore-id An identifier for the Hypercore. Currently a base16-encoded public-key.
  • version-tag A string identifying a location in the Hypercore log sequence. May be an integer or a 'tag' string which matches the following regex /[a-z][a-z0-9\.-]*/ (case insensitive).
  • hier-path The hierarchical path to a resource within the Hypercore, as defined in RFC 3986 section 3.3.
  • query Non-hierarchical data, as defined in RFC 3986 section 3.4.
  • fragment An indirect reference to secondary resources, as defined in RFC 3986 section 3.5.
