Expected Behavior

I expect Jekyll to copy my asset files:

.well-known
├── webfinger
└── webfinger.d
    └── http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fspecs%2Fconnect%2F1.0%2Fissuer
        └── acct%3Arobert%riemann.cc.json

My motivation is here to catch requests to /.well-known/webfinger?rel=http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer&resource=acct:my@mail.com and use a CDN redirect to /.well-known/webfinger.d/:rel/:resource.json to hardcode the response.

Current Behavior

After a bundle exec jekyll build, I get:

.well-known
├── oidc.webfinger
├── webfinger
└── webfinger.d
    └── http:
        └── openid.net
            └── specs
                └── connect
                    └── 1.0
                        └── issuer
                            └── acct:robert%riemann.cc.json

Relevant log output

No response

Code Sample

Just create an empty Jekyll project and do:

mkdir -p webfinger.d/http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fspecs%2Fconnect%2F1.0%2Fissuer/
touch webfinger.d/http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fspecs%2Fconnect%2F1.0%2Fissuer/acct%3Arobert%riemann.cc.json

Then build to _site.

This isn't something we support or that you should use Jekyll for. You'll need to configure the webserver that you're using to serve your static site to support this somehow, if that's even possible. This is not a bug.
