Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers

RFC 5785 - Defining Well-Known Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs)
increasingly common for Web-based protocols to require the discovery of policy or other information about a host (“site-wide metadata”) before making a request.
this memo defines a path prefix in HTTP(S) URIs for these “well-known locations”, “.well-known”. Future specifications that need to define a resource for such site-wide metadata can register their use to avoid collisions and minimise impingement upon sites’ URI space.

they are designed to facilitate discovery of information on a site when it isn’t practical to use other mechanisms; for example, when discovering policy that needs to be evaluated before a resource is accessed, or when using multiple round-trips is judged detrimental to performance
