TXT verification fails – bug?

    Greetings!

    I wanted to let you know that I think there may be a bug in the TXT verification process.

    I upload the two TXT files to the correct directory. One of the files (the 2nd) is publicly viewable, but one is not. When I look at the link that the plug-in generates to see the TXT file, I notice that the plug-in appends a hyphen (” – ” character) to the beginning of the file name. If I remove that hyphen, the file is publicly viewable.

    I think this is causing the verification process to fail.

    Please let me know if you would like any additional information to troubleshoot. I am currently waiting out the TTL for the DNS challenge, which I hope will verify my domain ownership.

    Cheers,
    Nicole

    @springflowers We see that you managed to finish the SSL generation using DNS method, we do recommend DNS method when HTTP file based verification couldn’t succeed on some server environments.

    Thanks for the report though, we will definitely do more testing on our end to see if any verification conflicts are happening due to hyphen (-)
