Proposal

I think we could benefit from documenting well-known URIs. We"re missing important (particularly security.txt) ones, but also a list of authentication-related URIs, CalDAV, and application-specific ones which I"m sure have interest, like keybase.txt, matrix

Some docs already mention this mechanism:

And some docs are omitting it which could benefit from complimentary docs:

Browser support

I believe there"s some level of browser support for some of the provisional ones:

  • .well-known/assetlinks.json (Chrome android?)
  • .well-known/privacy-sandbox-attestations.json (provisional)
  • .well-known/related-website-set.json (provisional)

And other applications:

  • .well-known/change-password (password managers?)

Tasks

Dependencies

  • [ ]

Additional information

Background:

A well-known URI is a URI [RFC3986] whose path component begins with characters "/.well-known/", provided that the scheme is defined to support well-known URIs.

For example, if an application registers the name "example", the well-known URI on "http://www.example.com/" would be "http://www.example.com/.well-known/example".

Are you willing to support this work?

yes
