From 1350b053da45c94722cd8acf9cfd367db787259c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Cloke Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2021 07:30:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Pass errors back to the client when trying multiple federation destinations. (#9868) This ensures that something like an auth error (403) will be returned to the requester instead of attempting to try more servers, which will likely result in the same error, and then passing back a generic 400 error. --- changelog.d/9868.bugfix | 1 + synapse/federation/federation_client.py | 118 ++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 58 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/9868.bugfix diff --git a/changelog.d/9868.bugfix b/changelog.d/9868.bugfix new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e2b4f97ad --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/9868.bugfix @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Fix a long-standing bug where errors from federation did not propagate to the client. diff --git a/synapse/federation/federation_client.py b/synapse/federation/federation_client.py index f93335eda..a5b6a6119 100644 --- a/synapse/federation/federation_client.py +++ b/synapse/federation/federation_client.py @@ -451,6 +451,28 @@ class FederationClient(FederationBase): return signed_auth + def _is_unknown_endpoint( + self, e: HttpResponseException, synapse_error: Optional[SynapseError] = None + ) -> bool: + """ + Returns true if the response was due to an endpoint being unimplemented. + + Args: + e: The error response received from the remote server. + synapse_error: The above error converted to a SynapseError.
