This code brings the SimpleHttpClient into line with the
MatrixFederationHttpClient by having it raise HttpResponseExceptions when a
request fails (rather than trying to parse for matrix errors and maybe raising
MatrixCodeMessageException).
Then, whenever we were checking for MatrixCodeMessageException and turning them
into SynapseErrors, we now need to check for HttpResponseExceptions and call
to_synapse_error.
This commit replaces SynapseError.from_http_response_exception with
HttpResponseException.to_synapse_error.
The new method actually returns a ProxiedRequestError, which allows us to pass
through additional metadata from the API call.
We really shouldn't be sending all CodeMessageExceptions back over the C-S API;
it will include things like 401s which we shouldn't proxy.
That means that we need to explicitly turn a few HttpResponseExceptions into
SynapseErrors in the federation layer.
The effect of the latter is that the matrix errcode will get passed through
correctly to calling clients, which might help with some of the random
M_UNKNOWN errors when trying to join rooms.
* attempt at deduplicating lazy-loaded members
as per the proposal; we can deduplicate redundant lazy-loaded members
which are sent in the same sync sequence. we do this heuristically
rather than requiring the client to somehow tell us which members it
has chosen to cache, by instead caching the last N members sent to
a client, and not sending them again. For now we hardcode N to 100.
Each cache for a given (user,device) tuple is in turn cached for up to
X minutes (to avoid the caches building up). For now we hardcode X to 30.
* add include_redundant_members filter option & make it work
* remove stale todo
* add tests for _get_some_state_from_cache
* incorporate review
Add federation_domain_whitelist
gives a way to restrict which domains your HS is allowed to federate with.
useful mainly for gracefully preventing a private but internet-connected HS from trying to federate to the wider public Matrix network
lets homeservers specify a whitelist for 3PIDs that users are allowed to associate with.
Typically useful for stopping people from registering with non-work emails
