[BUG] Nip-11 seems to be served on root domain, not on relay_url #381
Description
Feel free to close this if I'm confused.
The NIP-11 spec (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/11.md#relay-information-document )
... says that...
Relays may provide server metadata... This is made available as a JSON document over HTTP, on the same URI as the relay's websocket. )
Operative text here is "on the same URI as the relay's websocket"
So I THINK that means if my relay_url is set to...
wss://mydomain.com/v1
Then the Nip-11 data should be accessible like ....
curl -i -H "Accept: application/nostr+json" https://some-domain.com/v1
But so far I am finding this not to be the case with Nostream. The Nip-11 data is instead accessible on the ROOT of the domain
curl -i -H "Accept: application/nostr+json" https://some-domain.com

@cameri I’d like to take this on.
From what I understand, the NIP-11 spec says the relay metadata should be served on the same URI that handles the WebSocket connection, not just the root domain. 
Right now it looks like Nostream always serves it at /, even when the relay is configured with a path like /v1, which feels inconsistent with that expectation.
Rough plan
-- Requests with Accept: application/nostr+json on the relay path return the NIP-11 document
-- Instead of defaulting everything to the root endpoint
Goal
Have NIP-11 served on whatever path the relay actually lives on, so something like /v1 behaves correctly instead of only /.
If I’m misunderstanding how Nostream is intentionally handling this, happy to adjust before diving in.

@sagar-h007 I have started my work on this. It would be better if you picked another one for your ai to plan out :)

@theAnuragMishra the issue isn’t even assigned, so there’s no reason to block others from picking it up.I’ve already looked into it and I’m wrapping up the changes. I’ll be opening a PR shortly.
If you’ve already done meaningful work, feel free to share it.
