Travis Ralston 88b35d1be5 Clarify how third party invites work
This adds several diagrams to the Client-Server API about how invites
are handled, including what the server is expected to do. This helps
implementors know what they are supposed to do in the common cases,
and infer where needed to get the more complex cases correct.

Although lacking in some areas, this is how third party invites work
today.

A link to the now-improved client-server documentation for third party
invites has been added to the server-server specification. The existing
server-server specification needed no further changes on the subject.

Travis Ralston 05a2427c73 Document how presence EDUs work between servers
It's worth noting that Synapse does not make use of the `poll` or `unpoll` fields, and therefore the wording has been updated to permit servers to reject users. In the case of synapse, it would automatically reject everyone in the list by nature of ignoring it.

Travis Ralston 5fbaa1deb5 Federation: Document the Host header; Clarify how literal IP addresses are handled
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1161

The IP address clarification is to add an explicit mention of how to handle the case. The prior documentation assumed that all servers would be resolvable with DNS, and does technically have a fallback to use the fallback port, however making it clear feels like a good idea.

Travis Ralston 2ac80d38d7 Document the /publicRooms endpoint for federation
This intentionally doesn't document the third party network aspect of the endpoint. This is scheduled for a later area for dealing with third party network/IDs and is reported as https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1476

The client-server response has been broken out to a shared file: both the client-server and server-server /publicRoom endpoints return the same thing, with slightly different inputs.

The inputs (and behaviour) are based upon the docstring here: 43ecfe0b10/synapse/federation/transport/server.py (L583-L612)
6 years ago
Travis Ralston 73958ecbff Document /event_auth and /query_auth
/event_auth is a fairly easy endpoint to determine the use case of. /query_auth is a little harder to investigate and has a fairly interesting purpose: it appears to be used for the sending server to admit defeat and shop around for the right auth chain, correcting it's own perspective as it goes.

/query_auth is based off the following research points in synapse:
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1947-L1990)
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L2049-L2187)
* 43ecfe0b10/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1716-L1761)

Reference material:
* Some calls to synapse on these endpoints with a relatively simple private room.

Travis Ralston 7679b4f1d1 Improve documentation on how Transactions work
The response is based upon various sections of the Synapse code in how it generates a response.

There are no new fields added to the transaction. Originally, `previous_ids` and `pdu_failures` were to be documented however neither of these are used in the real world.

Travis Ralston 9fdd8a6f96 Document how leaving rooms/rejecting invites over federation works
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1401

This is very similar to the joining rooms handshake, and much of it is a near copy/paste of the make_join and send_join API. The major difference is the send_leave API doesn't return anything.

References:
* Handling of make_leave: d69decd5c7/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1285-L1310)
* send_leave route: d69decd5c7/synapse/federation/transport/client.py (L267)
* make_leave route: d69decd5c7/synapse/federation/transport/server.py (L396)
* send_leave returning nothing: d69decd5c7/synapse/handlers/federation.py (L1346)

Travis Ralston f873bae0cc Improve documentation for how non-third party invites work
The details are fairly straightforward. An `event` has been added to the response body because that's what Synapse returns, despite the spec saying otherwise until now: d69decd5c7/synapse/federation/federation_server.py (L339)

Travis Ralston 8e97b0ca81 Improve the server key exchange portion of the s2s specification
Most of the text has been shuffled into the swagger definitions to bring it closer to where it matters.

This also attempts to clarify what is out in the wild. Most importantly, the first version of the key exchange is outright removed from the specification. Other research points/questions are:

* What is a "Key ID"?
  * 1241156c82/synapse/rest/key/v2/local_key_resource.py (L81-L83)
  * 1241156c82/synapse/rest/key/v2/local_key_resource.py (L88-L91)
* Returning a cached response if the server throws a 400, 500, or otherwise not-offline status code
  * 1241156c82/synapse/rest/key/v2/remote_key_resource.py (L227-L229)
* `minimum_valid_until_ts` default
  * This branch of the ladder: 1241156c82/synapse/rest/key/v2/remote_key_resource.py (L192)
* Returning empty arrays when querying offline/no servers
  * Queried by hand against matrix.org as a notary server with a fake domain name to query
* Returning all keys even when querying for specific keys
  * Queried by hand using matrix.org as a notary server against a server publishing multiple keys.

The examples and descriptions were also improved as part of this commit.

Travis Ralston 0ddf578b61 Combine all queries into their own section
This removes the Directory and Profile sections, instead opting to document them as Queries. 

The behaviour of profile queries is based on Synapse's behaviour. A few issues have been opened to improve the behaviour:
* https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1434
* https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1435
* https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1436

Travis Ralston 374ec00046 Convert things that mention "Transaction" to swagger
There's two kinds of transactions currently: one with EDUs and one without. The one with EDUs is only used on /send, however the schema is still somewhat worth splitting out for simplicity.

The examples are brought apart to make them slightly more reusable for when they get dumped into the relevant sections of the spec (see TODO in server_server_api.rst)

Further, the Transactions stuff introduces tuples to the spec. The units.py has been updated to support this.
