I purchased a SSL cert online and now ind the mid of verifying my host. How it works is:

1. It gives me a file
2. I have to make that file accessible through a specific URL on my host.
3. If the content of the file matches, it's verified.

Now I'm at step 2.

I'm trying to return a file (static) from an URL, as required by Comodo to verify my server. So basically, I think if I access this link:

http://your(sub)domain/.well-known/pki-validation/<filename.txt>

The guide is here:

Can you guys help how I can return a file with this URL? Thanks!

Thanks for all your help. I actually found out that it was pretty straight forward.

I just put a path in my urls.py as below:

urlpatterns = [path('.well-known/pki-validation/xxxyyyzzz.txt', read_file),]

Then my read_file function just simply return the file with

def read_file(request):f = open('.well-known/pki-validation/xxxyyyzzz.txt', 'r')file_content = f.read()f.close()return HttpResponse(file_content, content_type="text/plain")
