+*dot-allow* ['PATTERN'...]::
+
+ As described under 404 RESPONSES, a path element beginning
+ with a dot character is normally rejected by default, but the
+ *dot-allow* directive allows certain dot-files or -directories
+ to be selectively allowed. Each 'PATTERN' is an ordinary glob
+ pattern, the matching of which allows access to a given path
+ element. When checking for access to dot-files or
+ -directories, only the *dot-allow* directive "closest" to the
+ file under consideration is used. It should be noted that the
+ default configuration file for *dirplex* contains a
+ *dot-allow* directive for the `.well-known` directory.
