Cloudflare offering it might legitimize IPFS in ways that non-corporate entities championing it doesn't.

Not a huge Cloudflare fan, but I will admit this is cool of them to spend engineering time and money on.

EDIT: Thanks for the efforts to promote the Distributed Web. A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

That's the whole point. We think the Distributed Web is cool and coming and we want to accelerate that happening. Hence the time and effort to make this happen.
I was just wondering the other day if IPFS would get enough traction to reach critical mass. This is a very hopeful sign I think.

Cheers!

That was one of the drivers. We liked the core technology, but could see there was a significant barrier to actually using it. Being able to point your domain at IPFS content and then providing that (ssl secured) site to the masses is a big step forward.
That is wonderful to hear
Bravo
A most welcome feature.
