You are looking in the wrong place. https://securitytxt.org/ proposes to create a text file called security.txt under the .well-known directory of your project.

So, the URL becomes: https://www.digitaltrustcenter.nl/.well-known/security.txt

This returns a 200 (via 302).

Ironically, that information is apparently not well known.

It's "well known" if you've manually set up SSL certs for a site using certbot. But yea I agree it's a weird choice to put it there instead of the same place as humans.txt, robots.txt and etc.

I wasn't going to add one but I might actually put one in my root just out of spite.

Devs need to stop demanding other devs jump through pointless hoops.

On linux, there is a ~/.config directory, yet devs who think they know everything still pointlessly litter my home directory...

Don't litter you web root either ;)

Au contraire, it's the other way around. It makes more sense to put favicon.ico, robots.txt and humans.txt in .well-known, but that's life, these files are legacy. (shrugs)

Iirc “they” decided that all new standards for “specific URLs you may want to serve for a particular purpose” will be under /.well-known. Robots is grandfathered because it’s super old and established and thus crazy to move. There won’t be anymore “at the root” standards.

I do get why they standardized it that way, but boy is it ugly.

Wouldn't it be beveiliging.txt?

Is Dutchies, in contrast to the French, don't come up with new words. Our language is Englishifying more and more.

We've always been strongly influenced by our big three neighbors (UK, France and Germany). I remember reading somewhere that before WW2 France was our biggest "cultural influencer" (for example, we spelled helicopter "hélicoptère", until the Canadians liberated us). It's probably not surprising that WW2 made German less popular, and the Anglosphere more popular afterwards.

GAZETTE du BIDOUILLEUR

I traveled in southern France for a bit and it seems to me like it could be a Paris/Quebecois thing because I found a "STOP" (no "ARRÊT" on it anywhere) sign at an intersection in about as rural an area you can get. Granted, sample size is small, but there do seem to be gradients even inside France.

That's because France like many other countries, but not Canada, signed an international treaty that standardizes road signs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Sign... That makes it a bit easier to drive safely across countries without reading all local languages.

Edit: Huh, apparently "stop" or the equivalent in the local language are allowed by the treaty. Didn't know that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_sign

> apparently "stop" or the equivalent in the local language are allowed by the tr

Yes, but this is the only octagonal sign in the treaty, I suppose specifically so it's meaning could be inhered without knowing local language

How about beveiliging.tkst?
