Remote media download just works (tm) too, very easy to get the remote homeserver base url properly with https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modular-matrix/autodiscover-client-configuration
and initial commit published!
https://git.pixie.town/f0x/synapse-media-proxy
nice nice nice file uploads work very well now, properly stored where Synapse would normally expect them too, and a listing in the database
:O I think I implemented the whole https://spec.matrix.org/unstable/server-server-api/#server-discovery Matrix server discovery flow!!! It's rather complex, with .well-knowns and SRV records and combinations of those.
Also nice that I could fork of the client-spec counterpart already made by someone else :) https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modular-matrix/autodiscover-client-configuration
submitted 2 things to TWIM https://matrix.org/blog/category/this-week-in-matrix for the first time in aaaages :3
soo good to just come across a library that does what you need to *perfectly*. I was messing about with regexes to parse Content-Disposition stuff, and with this library I can do both the parsing and formatting sooo much nicer (and it's used by express.js so it's Good(tm))
https://www.npmjs.com/package/content-disposition
think I'll set up a test synapse-media-proxy soon(tm) but I'd accompany it with a testing synapse instance too, think NixOS should make it real easy to get that part up and running quick, and then I can get some real-world speedtests by just throwing test media links around :P
Monday though i suppose... i should really learn at least a bit for that fuckin midterm first
@f0x hell yeah f0x that's really cool!
@f0x anything i can do?
@dumpsterqueer Just checked, and ondergrond uses SRV lookup which I already have a consenting example of, but thanks for the offer :)
@f0x no problem ^_^ forgot i'd set it up like that, cool, good job past me
now to limit the in-memory cache on <remote> and check up the federation spec, and then /upload and /download are fully implemented
