Redirect for /share-download makes it difficult with reverse proxies

[andymarden]

Scenario is this:

I want use of fileshelter to be authenticated but access to shared download links to be freely available.

So in nginx, I set:

location / to authenticate via Authentik
location /share-download tto not authentik

However, it appears that fileshelter sends a redirect to domain.com/?wtd=xxxxx which gets picked up by the / location block. It's awkward to manage logic based on query parameters.

Can I suggest that a change is made to put something like "dl" after the / and before the ? so that it can be trapped in reverse proxies effectively?
