Slightly less well-known than XDG directories among the developers of Linux-targeted software, it would seem.

Seriously, what an oxymoronic name. "/index.html" is a well known URL, literally: most of web-developers are aware of it. But inventing a bunch of URLs with predefined semantics and then slapping the "well-known" label on it... well, it won't magically make them actually well-known.

I spent 10 minutes searching for one in the article, in the RFC, in the wikipedia page, on google, to search for a .well-known example. Couldn't find one.

I did read one before while working with github oidc, and I did find it very useful.

What is it with technical documentations that go deep describing what it is in plenty words but refusing to give a single example? This far from the first case I've ran into either.

There's an interesting list on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_URI#List_of_well-kn...

They are collected at this registry: https://www.iana.org/assignments/well-known-uris/well-known-...

I agree. I was hoping for a few positive examples, but didn't see any. The only one I know of is the OIDC discovery endpoint.
