AutoSSL and HTTP Redirects

[Nahoo]

I use the following as the first redirection rule of the .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(?:[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv|[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?|\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)$
RewriteRule .* - [L,NC]

This will force the redirections to stop if there is a file match.

Hello @Nahoo,

I've moved this post to it's own thread. Could you let us know what lead you to creating this rule? Were the default rewrite exclusions added to the .htaccess file not working during the domain validation process?

Thank you.
