Hiya @Dave_Glick ,

I do not believe we are planning any changes here, so nothing has changed.

If you need a path to be served at this path, you’d either:

  • deploy via git
  • or use a redirect or proxy redirect from /.well-known/whatever to a static file that doesn’t start with a dot:

/.well-known/my-path/* /file-i-want-served.html 200!

Please let me know if the second one isn’t an option for you for some reason and why and we can discuss other less optimal workarounds.
