Continuing the discussion from Static dir + file for Domain verification:
A convenient trick to the solve the problem of
I need to host a static file at
/path
is to use a Permalink to redirect that path somewhere else. However, Permalinks do not work for anons on login-required sites.
I propose special-casing /.well-known/ Permalink paths to always return the redirect regardless of site settings that might otherwise prevent it, e.g. login-required.
