Outgoing federation doesn't resolve `/.well-known/matrix/client` redirects

I’ve changed my well-known setup to use redirects and Synapse’s builtin client response which broke the outgoing federation test. This seems to require a simple flag change in https://phorge.mtrnord.blog/source/mcte/browse/main/apps/connectivity_tester_backend/lib/connectivity_tester_backend/outgoing_federation/client_discovery.ex#L28.

See https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/pull/2404 for the future spec release that expects this behavior

ah yeah makes sense. Though I cant directly use the flag as thats unbounded redirects and I would rather prevent endless loops :slight_smile:

Working on a fix now. Probably lands by the end of the day. I will report back though once it landed on prod :slight_smile:

Thanks for reporting this issue!

A fix has been deployed on stage and prod :slight_smile: It should now work again. Sorry for the inconvenience!
