Room Version 4
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
This room version builds on `version 3 <v3.html>`_ using a different encoding for
|
||||
event IDs.

|
||||
Client considerations
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This room version changes the format form event IDs sent to clients. Clients should
|
||||
already be treating event IDs as opaque identifiers, and should not be concerned with
|
||||
the format of them. Clients should still encode the event ID when including it in a
|
||||
request path.
|
||||
|
||||
Clients should expect to see event IDs changed from the format of ``$randomstring:example.org``
|
||||
to something like ``$Rqnc-F-dvnEYJTyHq_iKxU2bZ1CI92-kuZq3a5lr5Zg`` (note the lack of domain).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Server implementation components
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. WARNING::
|
||||
The information contained in this section is strictly for server implementors.
|
||||
Applications which use the Client-Server API are generally unaffected by the
|
||||
intricacies contained here. The section above regarding client considerations
|
||||
is the resource that Client-Server API use cases should reference.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Room version 4 uses the same algorithms defined in `room version 3 <v3.html>`_, however
|
||||
using URL-safe base64 to generate the event ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Event IDs
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
.. admonition:: Rationale
|
||||
|
||||
Room version 3 generated event IDs that were difficult for client implementations
|
||||
which were not encoding the event ID to function in those rooms. It additionally
|
||||
raised concern due to the ``/`` character being interpretted differently by some
|
||||
reverse proxy software, and generally made administration harder.
|
||||
|
||||
The event ID is the `reference hash`_ of the event encoded using a variation of
|
||||
`Unpadded Base64`_ which replaces the 62nd and 63rd characters with ``-`` and ``_``
|
||||
instead of using ``+`` and ``/``. This matches `RFC4648's definition of URL-safe base64
|
||||
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-5>`_. Event IDs are still prefixed
|
||||
with ``$`` and may result in looking like ``$Rqnc-F-dvnEYJTyHq_iKxU2bZ1CI92-kuZq3a5lr5Zg``.
|
||||
|
||||
Just like in room version 3, event IDs should not be sent over federation to servers
|
||||
when the room uses this room version. On the receiving end of an event, the server
|
||||
should compute the relevant event ID for itself. Room version 3 also changes the format
|
||||
of ``auth_events`` and ``prev_events`` in a PDU.
