It's "well known" if you've manually set up SSL certs for a site using certbot. But yea I agree it's a weird choice to put it there instead of the same place as humans.txt, robots.txt and etc.
- onlypositive 3y agoI wasn't going to add one but I might actually put one in my root just out of spite. Devs need to stop demanding other devs jump through pointless hoops.
- withinboredom 3y agoOn linux, there is a ~/.config directory, yet devs who think they know everything still pointlessly litter my home directory... Don't litter your web root either ;)
- _nalply 3y agoAu contraire, it's the other way around. It makes more sense to put favicon.ico, robots.txt and humans.txt in .well-known, but that's life, these files are legacy. (shrugs)
