Ipfs-http-client does not seem to add mode and mtime

1

Using nodejs and ipfs-core, it works fine. However, when trying to add a file using ipfs-http-client (49.0.2) and specifying a mode and mtime, that information does not seem to be preserved. I am not sure how to work around this…

const test = async (ipfs) => {
  const fileName = "test.txt";
  const input = {
    path: fileName,
    content: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
    mode: 0o631,
    mtime: {
      secs: 5000,
      nsecs: 100,
    },
  };

  const res = await ipfs.add(input);
  console.log("add", res);
  const cid = res.cid;
  for await (const file of ipfs.ls(cid)) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(file));
  }
};

const testIPFSCore = async () => {
  const IPFS = require("ipfs-core");
  const ipfs = await IPFS.create();
  await test(ipfs);
};

const testIPFSClient = async () => {
  const ipfsClient = require("ipfs-http-client");
  const LOCAL_IPFS_SERVER = process.env.LOCAL_IPFS_SERVER;
  let ipfs = new ipfsClient(LOCAL_IPFS_SERVER);
  await test(ipfs);
};

testIPFSCore();
testIPFSClient();

Go-ipfs doesn’t support mode or mtime, but I’ve got my fingers crossed that it will land soon. [BOUNTY] Implement UnixFSv1.5 in go-ipfs · Issue #6920 · ipfs/go-ipfs · GitHub
