Allow templating for single static files

[bmarwell]

Hi,

I would like to run my src/site/assets/.htaccess through freemarker.

Currently, this does not seem supported?

While we can do custom file names and types, it does not allow us to omit the file name:

template.securitytxt.file=securitytxt.ftl
template.securitytxt.extension=.txt

Now how would we do this with .htaccess?

Would what is described in #693 cover this? I guess it depends on what .htaccess contains that would be considered "content" and what you want to do with that content with a template engine.

Or would having control over the output file name (maybe via a metadata header value) suffice?

To redirect current to a specific version in our case:

https://github.com/apache/shiro-site/blob/main/src/site/assets/.htaccess#L53-L55

The data should be taken from:

https://github.com/apache/shiro-site/blob/main/data/releases.yaml#L3

Other use cases:

• .htaccess files in other directories
• .htpasswd files (we don't need them, just for sake of completeness)
