Including static files with no extension

Hi @chrisdavidmiles, we have implemented a way to include such files when adding them in the option Additional directories/files under Settings > Includes/Excludes.

Does that not work for you?

Right, that’s what I’m using to include the files.

When I do, if the file does not contain a file extension (.txt, .jpg, etc) then those files are being treated like html pages and that is producing incorrect filenames.

For example ~/_redirects gets changed to ~/_redirects/index.html because it’s being treated like an html page and not a file.

~/robots.txt works as expected, because it has a filename.

But files without filenames seem to be processed as html pages: https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/simply-static/tags/2.2.7/src/class-ss-url-fetcher.php#L181

So I’m asking for a way to preserve the file names of included individual files that have no file extension such as ~/_redirects or ~/_headers or ~/pgp-key . How can I include these and other files while preserving the original filenames?

There’s a typo in what I said. I meant to say:

~/robots.txt works as expected, because it has a file extension. (.txt in that case)
