Is that a standard now? Who's going to tell the guys using .well-known?

  It has always been standard, it was the #1 thing to do when setting up Apache back when Apache was the standard and nginx was still this obscure Russian porn web server. .well-known is much more recent and an exception. Can you think of any other .file or .folder which is wise to be exposed publicly?

    That is an apacheism to avoid serving .htaccess which can include hashed passwords. It's not a general thing.

    .plan

    I was around back then and uploading websites, (version controlling on svn, not git), and I do not recall it being a standard. The closest standard I can think of is .htaccess files (which we did upload) for various vhost specific settings. What is your basis for this standard? Was there a mailing list agreement I missed?

  Mastodon actually uses .well-known for Webfinger stuf.
