Failed to set avatar due to Synapse restriction #895
Comments
Hi @noarchwastaken I have encountered the same issue, are you using the S3 provider with Synapse as well? Have you found a solution for this issue? |

I know that #785 describes a similar issue, but I assume the issue owner somehow resolved their problem, and I have more details, so I'm opening a new issue.
I'm deploying the mautrix-telegram bridge today, and found that Synapse refuses to let it set the default avatar link:
Looking at the Synapse homeserver.log at the same time, I found that Synapse rejects the mxn:// URL that mautrix-telegram gave it:
I then read Synapse's code, and found that it requires that the image is local or at least cached, and makes no attempt to download it remotely.
The current workaround for admins is to upload some image to the media repository and use that in mautrix-telegram.
