redwood: [Bug?]: 404 on paths containing periods

What’s not working?

We’re seeing 404s instead of index.html for paths containing periods, e.g. https://example.com/foo/bar.baz. Our app has profile handles that can include periods and that are used directly in urls like this.

I’m investigating whether we have any way to override this, so if there’s a known workaround, that would be great to hear. This is a live production issue for us right now.

We’re also seeing evidence that reverting to Redwood 6.5.1 or so might work as a temporary solution.

How do we reproduce the bug?

Create a new redwood app and generate a page:

yarn create redwood-app periods-break-urls --typescript
cd periods-break-urls
yarn rw g page Test

Update web/src/Routes.tsx so the path contains a period:

-      <Route path="/test" page={TestPage} name="test" />
+      <Route path="/test.profile" page={TestPage} name="test" />

Run the app:

yarn rw dev

or if you prefer

yarn rw build && yarn rw serve

Visit http://localhost:8910/test.profile

Expected result: Test page renders Actual result: 404 Not Found

What’s your environment? (If it applies)

Redwood 6.6.4
