Description

Fallback server for optional or missing files

Currently when site has big or a lot of optional files site owner has to seed the site with ZN node still on. Even with that there's no guarantee of site files availability due to censorship or low amount of peers.

I'd like to propose a feature of fallback server. It would be definable in site content.json.

When file is not available or seeding peer is not connectable then ZN client would fallback to server as a last step. File would be downloaded, verified with hash as usuall. After that available in regular Zeronet ways. On the server the same structure of files in Zeronet client would be uploaded.

The configuration would be as follows:

"fallback_server": {
"https": "example.com/zeronetsitefiles",
"sftp": "example.com/zeronetsitefiles",
...
},
