Feature: download a block debugging tool #1309
Description
Sometimes retrievals fail because of a malformed CAR file. In the retrieval UI the error appears as
graphsync response to peer 12D3KooWNTiHg8eQsTRx8XV7TiJbq3379EgwG6Mo3V3MdwAfThsx did not complete:
response status code RequestFailedContentNotFound
This is because if Graphsync cannot read a block it reports the block as "not found".
When debugging why retrievals fail, it would be useful to have a link to download a block, so as to surface the underlying reason why the block cannnot be retrieved. At the moment the only way to see the reason is by looking in the logs for gs-queryexecutor errors. Some examples:
