Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch the Element WEB application at https://develop.element.io/
  2. Log in to a user account on matrixsynapse.ddns.net.
  3. Open the development tools in the browser.
  4. Find in the console the step of requesting well-known from homeserver.

Outcome

What did you expect?

The file will be requested at the server address: https://matrixsynapse.ddns.net/.well-known/matrix/client.

What happened instead?

The file was requested by the server name https://tyga-matrix/.well-known/matrix/client

How can I get around it?

Option 1: Spoof the GET request using Carles Proxy. Option 2. Overrite the init.js file using a browser debuger. Change the logic of the getDomain() function in the file. But this does not solve the root cause.

The file was requested by the server name tyga-matrix/.well-known/matrix/client

This is as per the spec, the well-known is hosted on the server_name not the URL. https://spec.matrix.org/v1.11/client-server-api/#well-known-uri
