Folder structure

somefolder
  subfolder
    deepfile
  config
  otherfile
  link -> points to somefolder/subfolder/deepfile
  folderlink -> points to somefolder/subfolder
  outsidefolderlink -> points to outsidefolder
outsidefolder
  outsidefile

Observations:

• go-ipfs sends symlinks with Content-Type: application/symlink and the target file path in the body
• js-ipfs-api by default follows symlinks and sends the targets contents (file symlink, directory symlink and file inside directory symlink)
• js-ipfs-api when used with followSymlinks: false is broken and sends directories symlinks with Content-Type: application/x-directory, still follows them but sends its content files also with Content-Type: application/x-directory and no body
