feat: add public.records gateway

[theshakeweb]

Public.records is a gateway on Handshake, secured by DANE. To access the public.records gateway, a Handshake resolver is required, such as https://impervious.com/fingertip or https://impervious.com/beacon.

@lidel @meandavejustice How do you feel about adding this gateway? I imagine it could make the CI workflows more difficult

This also brings up an interesting question.. should we provide a way for gateways to supply prereq info? For this gateway, users need a Handshake resolver. Displaying that information could be useful

[SgtPooki]

@theshakeweb would you be willing to create a github action that supports validation of Handshake URLs? It looks like the test at https://github.com/handshake-org/hsd/blob/master/test/http-test.js does mostly what we would need. Without that, adding this gateway would block any PRs once #248 is done.

Understood. Yes, willing to create this github action. Thanks for your thoughtful consideration.

That's fantastic! We would greatly appreciate it =)

FWIW we already have .onion, so with HNS we have two use cases of special gateways that require custom routing or resolver.

That is fine – people who have that will see them as online, which is a nice feature.

Agreed, we should have the ability to test HNS on CI, so they are not mistaken for invalid ones and removed during periodical cleanup (like we did in #40)

Opened #364 for addressing special request handling URLs in CI

However, @theshakeweb, it looks like public.records/ipfs gateway is no longer working. I tried at the preview as well as locally, and neither are working using fingertip+brave nor with the beacon browser

URL to test: https://public.records/ipfs/bafybeibwzifw52ttrkqlikfzext5akxu7lz4xiwjgwzmqcpdzmp3n5vnbe?now=1673382715453&filename=1x1.png#x-ipfs-companion-no-redirect

You are correct. The gateway is still active but had to be relocated to a new Handshake domain. It now operates at shake.speare/ipfs.

[SgtPooki]

domain is inactive. needs updated, or PR closed

[SgtPooki]

it looks like shake.speare is still failing all checks at the preview URL:
