Remove the requirement to authenticate for /admin/server_version. (#5122) · 59e2d269

Richard van der Hoff authored 5 years ago

This endpoint isn't much use for its intended purpose if you first need to get
yourself an admin's auth token.

I've restricted it to the `/_synapse/admin` path to make it a bit easier to
lock down for those concerned about exposing this information. I don't imagine
anyone is using it in anger currently.

Version API

This API returns the running Synapse version and the Python version on which Synapse is being run. This is useful when a Synapse instance is behind a proxy that does not forward the 'Server' header (which also contains Synapse version information).

The api is:

GET /_synapse/admin/v1/server_version

It returns a JSON body like the following:

{
    "server_version": "0.99.2rc1 (b=develop, abcdef123)",
    "python_version": "3.6.8"
}
