From 69ad7cc13bf2e2499c39daa4a2707421ad999762 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brendan Abolivier Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2020 16:33:01 +0200 Subject: Config option to inhibit 3PID errors on /requestToken Adds a request_token_inhibit_errors configuration flag (disabled by default) which, if enabled, change the behaviour of all /requestToken endpoints so that they return a 200 and a fake sid if the 3PID was/was not found associated with an account (depending on the endpoint), instead of an error.
