Yes! That would be cleaner, thank you for this suggestion!
I didn't do that before because there was no buffer like this before. But
now that it's there, I might as well use it.

Would it?
I specifically tried to keep gateway url adjustments in
sanitize_ipfs_gateway.
At this moment all that logic is in sanitize_ipfs_gateway. Are you sure
you want me to pull out one part and have it here instead?

Adding it here would essentially wrap the first argument in a ternary like:
(c->gateway_buffer[strlen(c->gateway_buffer) - 1] == '/') ? "%s%s%s" :
"%s/%s%s"

I prefer to keep this in sanitize_ipfs_gateway.
I'll wait for your response on this one to see if I need to move it or if
it can stay as is.
