`got_url_rewrite` doesn't support Caddy V2

[sadpencil]

In Caddy V2, redirect about index.php file is automatically configured by default. However, wordpress does not detect Caddy in function got_url_rewrite so the permalink always has an 'index.php' in the middle.

Moreover, it could be better to provide a checkbox, allowing users to tell WordPress that it can assume redirects are applied without actually checking for it

Hi there and welcome to WordPress Trac!

How can WordPress detect whether the current web server is a Caddy server? Are there any functions it could check?

The got_url_rewrite filter is useful for this.

Replying to swissspidy:

Thanks for the response.

How can WordPress detect whether the current web server is a Caddy server?

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']

This string starts with 'Caddy/v2', e.g., 'Caddy/v2.6.4'

The got_url_rewrite filter is useful for this.

I know I can write a custom filter to override got_url_rewrite in my child theme's functions.php file. Just wondering if it is better to provide a checkbox in permalink page.

Hi, is there anything I (as a nobody :) ) can do to see Caddy support going forward? I noticed that there was already a request with a patch available a few years ago, but it just got forgotten.
