.well-known is required

[Sleuth56]

While most servers on the matrix network use .well-known not all do. I think this shouldn't be a requirement. Especially because it's just some json that restates the url.

Would it be a solution, be to provide a field, to manually choose the url?

This is fixed now with the webpack refactoring. Check: https://matrix.to/#/!MdoftyfHNhKCbnhuBB:matrix.org/$amrefuKrg3LkJeby-fVM_YKVLU6B7fbDE0WRoc8_Ghs?via=matrix.org&via=kb1rd.net&via=nordgedanken.dev for details

It is not on the master branch yet, but the currenlty hosted version on https://toger5.github.io/TheBoard/ uses the updated version. You can try it right now if you find time for that.

Sorry for the delayed response. The user already puts in their servers url in their MXID. Is it possible to look for a .well-known use it if it's there or if it's not then use the provided url directly? I will test if it's fixed later today hopefully I have time.

@Sleuth56 this is basically exactly what I tried to achive.
The Server field gets autofilled when you type in your MXID (if the well known serach fails or is wrong you just have the chance to correct it now)

I like the UI. Is it possible to guess the url from the text after the : in someones MKID? For example. @user:matrix.org split the url off using the : as the separator and put the https:// in front of it. So it would be https://matrix.org. Most if not all HS that don't have .well-known use the full url that a user would put in.

I also just tested it and it does work with and without .well-known
