Oddly, the first works but the second doesn’t:

```plaintext
○ → curl http://discourse-test3.docentric.com/srv/status
ok

○ → timeout -v 5s curl http://discourse-test3.docentric.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/iEFjgyseuVL1IzIrTjmfhwv0HqV7EgUmQUVhy1nmnCE
timeout: sending signal TERM to command ‘curl’

```

I’m not sure what would cause that if it’s a standard setup.
