Which is frustrating, because Caddy is a great product, especially from a solo operator standpoint. Configuration is simple and the defaults are sane. The humans behind Caddy are nice people.

And while this move has somewhat soured my opinion of the project, I'm not so much angry as I am... sad. I want to use Caddy. I am using Caddy. But I don't want to use this Caddy, at the moment.

Actually, the defaults are quite insane.

For example: You might know that all domain names are in the root zone, named ".", so any domain actually is resolved to e.g. news.ycombinator.com. And if you enter the domain with the dot, it is the same DNS name, and should give you the same result. Apache does that, Nginx does that, Google’s cloud does that, Amazon’s cloud does that, all major sites do that...

Caddy considers it irrelevant, and something users should add manually for all of their rules if they want it. Ignoring all the RFCs, because of personal ideals.
