Hello, I have a permanent redirect configured for a Website and try to configure an exception for the folder .well-known/openpgpkeys and any subfolders and files. It's about Web Key Directory (WKD), a solution to exchange PGP keys for mail encryption. Due to forum restrictions I am not able to provide a link with more details about WKD. Sorry. I created the .well-known folder and subfolders in the webroot directory and tried some rewrite rules, which I googled. I am by no means an expert for regular expressions or nginx rewrite rules. I am also not sure if this is the right direction? Maybe someone has a friendly hint for me? Regards Andreas
I managed to solve this problem myself. 1. Copied nginx_vhost.conf.master to conf-custom folder and added the following lines to it: location ^~ /.well-known/openpgpkey { default_type application/octet-stream; add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin * always; } 2. Added the follwoing rewrite rule to site configuration in Redirect tab: rewrite ^(?!/(\.well-known))/(.*)$ URL$2 permanent; 3. Reinitialized site configuration by changing some small value to reload nginx_vhost.conf.master for the corresponding site. Works. The only thing I am not quite sure is, if let's encrypt renewals are in any way affected. Don't hope so.
