Manipulate filters as gomatrix.Filter structures, instead of their []byte JSON representation.
This lays ground work for using filters in dendrite for /sync requests.
Closes#523
There were a lot of unnecessary checks for HTTP methods of requests. gorilla/mux makes sure that these methods will only be called if certain HTTP methods are used, thus there's no reason to have these extra checks.
We were escaping the URL before performing any pattern matching on it.
This meant that if you sent data that URLdecoded to a "/", it would count as
a "/" in the URL, potentially causing a 404. This was causing some flaky tests
with some randomly-generated query parameters.
Now, we keep URLs encoded while doing the pattern matching, and only afterwards
do we URL decode each query parameter individually before passing them to their
respective handler functions.
github.com/gorilla/mux was also updated to v1.7.3 to fix a bug with URL encoding and subrouters.
