Great and useful changes overall, there's one change I'd like to have prior to merging!!

There is another format missing, and while I can ignore the questionable way to create the via-param, we need to have support for linking to spaces, too!

I think you just want to use the URI class and its decoder functions here ... there could be more than just the starting character being encoded...

This isn't really how via is meant to work. See the matrix URI spec for details. But ideally via tells you about (additional) servers that we know to be in the room as alternative ways to connect to the room (in particular if the homeserver isn't available). Just repeating the homeserver is a bit of a short-cut that doesn't in practice actually help doing the right resolution.

We can keep this for now, but should probably add a helper function on the rust side that compiles the actual correct information including via.

Ok got it. I will check for matrix specification and do required changes accordingly.

I have read the documentations, and agree with you that repeating the homeserver doesn't make sense.

I'm adding FIXME comment and once rust side helper function is ready then will change it accordingly.

matrix:// is also a valid link format: https://spec.matrix.org/v1.9/appendices/#uris

How can I get link like matrix:// from Acter or Element general?

I am not sure which clients are sending those at the moment... the element-x iOS maybe?

@gnunicorn
No, I have check element web and element iOS. Both are sending matrix.to url.

And matrix:// is not a link url,I believe It is url schema which is generally used in deep linking.

@gnunicorn

Is there any platform or way using with I can get matrix:// and test it?

If matrix:// type of url are consider as url schema then still I have to handle condition for it?

matrix.to is the old, matrix: is the new way of doing it.

@gnunicorn
Sorry but I'm not agree with that.

Not sure but based on the my knowledge matrix:// and matrix.to are different things and have their own purposes.

matrix:// is Matrix URI scheme which ideally suitable in deep-linking for direct intent calls

matrix.to is Matrix Navigation URL and widely used by all the matrix platforms but general navigations.

For better clarification, I'm looking for any platform which is using matrix:// (Matrix URI Scheme definition).
If you have any idea about such matrix platforms then can you please share it so that I can look into the same and get detail understanding.

And if you don't mind then can we proceed with this PR as this PR is mainly for copying RoomID URL from profile page and user should able to handle it with click on that message like element and other platforms doing because matrix:// is different thing and don't have any use-case at least in Acter App.

are different things and have their own purposes.

That is a misunderstanding though. Quoting the spec, about the matrix.to it says: "This namespacing existed prior to a matrix: scheme." hinting to the fact that they do the same but the existence of both is just an historically artifact to stay backwards compatible when matrix: was added: Both are used for deep-linking (clicking the matrix.to-link on a smartphone with element on it, you will see it come up), and targeting the same objects. From a purpose perspective they do and are the same. With matrix: (no double // after the :by the way) being the one for the future and matrix.to being the fallback.

Thus if want to only use one, we should do the matrix:-format and not the old one but we are only using the legacy with this PR. If you don't want to implement this now, let's open a ticket saying we need matrix:-protocol-support.

Thanks @gnunicorn for details understanding.
If matrix:// is the new way then for navigating and deep-link then I would like to integrate that way in Acter and have support for both.

@gnunicorn Do you have idea of any of the matrix platform which is using this new way? I just wanted to confirm certain use-cases with that.

Do you have idea of any of the matrix platform which is using this new way? I just wanted to confirm certain use-cases with that.

as said, if Element-X isn't using it, I wouldn't know if any does. According to the original spec proposal fluffychat and nheko have support for it (don't know if they post use it primarily though).

FYI, when I say the "new way" of doing it ... the Spec was merged 2021 .... and looks like even Element doesn't use it primarily yet, so ....

Aha, I see..
Let me create create new ticket for "matrix:-protocol-support" and then we can move on with current matrix.to support.

What if the link is for a space? Then we don't properly route there?
