Description

Just happened in the chat:

  • Someone had the HPB server also configured as recording server
  • The /api/v1/welcome endpoint exists on both, so the API worked
  • It showed the HPB version and only by that I randomly managed to identify it as HPB

We will now add an "invert check" and basically fail the server when the X-Spreed-Signaling-Features header is returned.
But it would be better if a positive X-Nextcloud-Talk-Recording-Features would be introduced, also allowing to check Talk if the service is compatible with what Talk expects from the recording server.
Basically like a capability list, feel inspired by https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/blob/3ce5c7bdaafeb8f4747f7bc05e60ebd33ada192a/lib/Signaling/Manager.php#L52-L55

Research direction

Start with the /api/v1/welcome endpoint and compare its current response with the capability-list pattern in spreed's lib/Signaling/Manager.php at the linked revision. Define how the X-Nextcloud-Talk-Recording-Features response should identify compatible recording servers and verify that Talk can check those capabilities.
