• Subsystem:

ipfs-http-client

Severity:

Medium

Description:

• I tried to generate a new key by using ipfs-http-client
• It generate a error HTTPError: unrecognized key type: Ed25519
• It should had generate a new key that I could use with IPNS in ed25519
• I think it happens because the keytype is Ed25519 and not ed25519 (same for RSA instead of rsa)

Steps to reproduce the error:

• Create a configuration of ipfs-http-client
• Generate a new key

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client';
dotenv.config();

const ipfs = create({
    url: process.env.IPFS_API,
})

await ipfs.key.gen("KEY");
