Description
matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#3500 is awesome, but currently relies on riot-web's config.json to find out what permalink prefix to use. this sucks for other clients (e.g. riot-ios or riot/android or others) which might connect to the server and need to know what prefix to intercept the links in-app.
We can't use matrix URLs for this given the use case for custom permalink prefixes is unfederated deployments, so instead we should specify a way via /info or similar to advertise the prefix that server recommends.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#3500 and how riot-web currently uses config.json to discover custom permalink prefixes. Then review the Matrix specification around server information and /info, if applicable. Done means the specification defines an agreed mechanism for clients such as riot-ios and riot/android to discover the server-recommended prefix.
