Description
Allow the
eth_feeHistory
method to accept predefined block numbers, e.g. "latest". This is the appropriate schema type as defined in the ethereum spec: https://github.com/ethereum/eth1.0-specs/blob/master/json-rpc/spec.json.The current behavior of forcing the parameter into
utils.toHex
actually does convert "latest" into a hex far beyond head resulting in the node response of "request beyond head block" (for geth).Type of change
