Research direction

Start by locating the middleware configuration and the code that checks the ignored extension list. Trace how requests for files such as sitemap.xml or favicon.icon are filtered, then define how an allowableExtension array or patterns should override that check. Done means configured exceptions are prerendered while other ignored extensions remain ignored.

Description

It would be useful if I could override the extension to ignore list with certain files that I would like to retrieve such as sitemap.xml or favicon.icon. Perhaps an “allowableExtension” array of files or patterns?
