+## Client Well-Known URI
+
+Setting up the client Well-Known URI is optional but if you set it up, it will
+allow users to enter their full username (e.g. `@user:<server_name>`) into clients
+which support well-known lookup to automatically configure the homeserver and
+identity server URLs. This is useful so that users don't have to memorize or think
+about the actual homeserver URL you are using.
+
+The URL `https://<server_name>/.well-known/matrix/client` should return JSON in
+the following format.
+
+```
+{
+  "m.homeserver": {
+    "base_url": "https://<matrix.example.com>"

+To work in browser based clients, the file must be served with the appropriate
+Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers. A recommended value would be
+`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` which would allow all browser based clients to

+In nginx this would be something like:

+}
+```
+
+You should also ensure the `public_baseurl` option in `homeserver.yaml` is set
+correctly. `public_baseurl` should be set to the URL that clients will use to
+connect to your server. This is the same URL you put for the `m.homeserver`

-The `http_client` argument is no longer passed to modules as they are initialised. Instead,
