❗ Unable to fetch rooms from room directory exception: Invalid server name: action:add-new-server

[bkil]

This error occurred after I selected the add new server from the dropbar without JavaScript enabled ( #243 ). But also, if the user typed in an inaccessible HS, they should be greeted with a friendlier message in general.

The exact error we ran into was:

Error: HTTP Error Response: 400 Bad Request: {"errcode":"M_INVALID_PARAM","error":"Invalid server name: action:add-new-server"}
    URL=https://matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/publicRooms?server=action%3Aadd-new-server

The error occured [sic] with these search parameters:

{
  "homeserver": "action:add-new-server",
  "searchTerm": "archive",
  "limit": 9
}
