Ignore hidden does nothing

[moan0s]

Setting ignoring hidden does nothing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set ignore hidden = False.

2. Create a file like .well-known/test
3. Access example.org/.well-known/test in the browser

Expected result

Raw content of .well-known/test is shown

Actual result

404 error page is rendered

Possible reason

In system/router.php, line 21, the access to files and folders is blocked, regardless of the setting

// Block all direct access to files and folders beginning with a dot
strpos($path, '/.') !== false
// Block all direct access for these folders
|| preg_match('`^/(\.git|cache|bin|logs|backup|webserver-configs|tests)/`ui', $path)

Uncommenting the line solves the issue

Reasoning

Why I need this: Grav should be not only be serving a blog but also some static files that are required to be served on the root domain by the matrix protocol: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/.

You could do the following:

• Create file /user/pages/.well-known/test/test.md containing:

  ---
  process:
    markdown: false
  ---
  Your raw data goes here
  

• In your theme create a Twig template for the test.md file: /user/themes/yourtheme/templates/test.html.twig containing:

  {{ page.content|raw }}
  

• Add to /user/config/system.yaml:

  pages:
    ignore_hidden: false
  

• Browse to https://yourdomain/.well-known/test and the raw content will be shown.
