https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add takes about 15 seconds to respond.

here is some code you can use to repro

curl 'https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Referer: http://localhost:8000/tip/send/2' -H 'Origin: http://localhost:8000' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36' -H 'DNT: 1' -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP' --data-binary $'------WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="blob"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\nTesting...\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP--\r\n' --compressed

Thanks for reporting, we're currently investigating the problem.

[InVincible2016]

I've been consistently getting 504 gateway time-out errors when tried to add contents to IPFS today.

[ncocchiaro]

We saw the timeouts and are working on fixing them too.

[ncocchiaro]

The issues with timeouts should be resolved.

fwiw; i'm still seeing about 10-25 second response times here.

[kartojal]

Having issues today adding files using Infura IPFS provider, maybe is related. First it took near a minute to upload a 13kb file this morning, then it stopped working, i'm receiving 504 gateway timeout errors when doing POST.

Edit: Now it works again! 😄

[ncocchiaro]

We deployed a new backend architecture for our IPFS endpoint and are no longer seeing this kind of timing on adds. Closing this issue for now.

[rogargon]

This problem has appeared again. I'm experiencing it with all my uses of https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add in different projects, including indirect uses from libraries like uport-connect.

It can be reproduced using the original curl command with which @owocki opened this issue:

curl 'https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add' -H 'accept: application/json' -H 'Referer: http://localhost:8000/tip/send/2' -H 'Origin: http://localhost:8000' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36' -H 'DNT: 1' -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP' --data-binary $'------WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="blob"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\nTesting...\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary9nHKdiDDbbCoFDCP--\r\n' --compressed```
