I've never user beta.m.o before so I might be doing something wrong

Hmm, looks like https://beta.matrix.org/.well-known/matrix/client/versions redirects to https://beta.element.io for some reason. This might be server misconfiguration; I'll try to report it to an Element devops room; thanks for letting us know!

It might actually be an issue on our side: we're not using the m.homeserver.base_url defined in the .well-known/matrix/client file to do the requests 🤔

This doesn't seem to be the issue. If I do a manual request to https://beta.matrix.org/_matrix/client/versions and follow the redirect I get this:

Which doesn't look like the well-known file.

@poljar These endpoints are confusing, note the behavior here:

  • https://beta.matrix.org/.well-known/matrix/client is to be pulled to figure out what's the homeserver base URL
  • once we have it, we should use $HOMESERVER_URL/_matrix/client/versions to get the versions

And we're not doing this in the code fetching versions.

That being said, we must be doing some kind of fetching of the homeserver base URL to build the initial client, or things would be broken in more obvious ways. To be investigated more.

bnjbvr avatar Aug 11 '25 07:08 bnjbvr

I believe this is just a misuse of the example.

The example asks for the homeserver URL, not the server name, because it doesn't try to do any auto-discovery, and https://beta.matrix.org is not the homeserver URL. beta.matrix.org is the server name, and https://beta.ems.host is the homeserver URL.

Now the example could be changed to use ClientBuilder::server_name_or_homeserver_url() rather than Client::new(), to perform auto-discovery.
