ENS resolving for IPNS names.

[decanus]

Bug Report

Recently I asked @hesterbruikman why ENS resolving does not work in browser. I was actually wrong on whether or not it works. If you use for example pactxt.eth in the browser it resolves. However uniswap.eth does not.

Problem

This is because there was an issue in the contenthash library that did not resolve names correctly when they were IPNS hashes. You can see a more detailed discussion here: ensdomains/ens-app#849. This was recently fixed in ENS which can be viewed here: ensdomains/ui#77.

Expected behavior

Names using IPNS names resolve properly in the browser.

Actual behavior

They currently do not.

Reproduction

• Open Status
• Open browser
• Type uniswap.eth and hit enter
• Name does not resolve.

Thanks for adding this @decanus

Checking with @churik and @Serhy also noticed that some urls redirect to infura.status.im. Need to invest more time to understand how this works as I'm not sure why e.g. ethereum.eth directs to https://ciqg44hq64xcxtik22n3fmk65hqpj6egsp3lf5ef4sdjtz6w7dn5mkq.infura.status.im

Are we using a content hash library by Infura?

@hesterbruikman all names redirect, thats a correct resolution.
