Description

Well-known URLs such as https://ungleich.ch/.well-known/matrix/client should allow clients to discover the correct HS address -> does not work for some reason.

See https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-well-known-matrix-client for specification.

Found out what was wrong: * Homeserver discovery is only done from the username. The homserver URL selection panel never use it. * Some CORS issue on the discovery side, can be fixed by setting the CORS header on the server.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://ungleich.ch/.well-known/matrix/client. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
