# Support for x-ipfs-path headers in IPFS Companion
DANGER
# x-ipfs-path support is deprecated
The x-ipfs-path HTTP header is a legacy way to detect IPFS content over HTTP. Gateway URL conventions (opens new window) and DNSLink have superseded it. This page is provided for reference only; see the x-ipfs-path glossary entry.
x-ipfs-path is an HTTP response header that some IPFS gateways add to name the IPFS path of the content they return. IPFS Companion can still detect it, but the option is off by default. You can turn it on under the extension's Preferences screen.
