Direct links to .PO files are being blocked (404)

[bserem]

I am trying to use BOA as a hosting environment for a drupal localize server.
On cron, the server creates the .PO files of the translation and I can see them in the filesystem.
A direct link to them however results to a 404 error. Renaming them to TXT files allows access to them.

Sample path:
http://localize.FQDN.com/sites/localize.FQDN.com/files/translation_packages/my_module/my_module-1.0.po

I couldn't find a directive under /data/disk/o1/config/server_master that blocks po files, and I couldn't add one that will allow them.
Is it possible that this is hardcoded somewhere else in BOA?

Allowing PO files to be downloaded directly is important so that remote files can download the translations automatically.

Thanks

I know it's an old ticket, but we are moving fast with updates again, so adding this to the wishlist.

It's actually blocked in the Aegir Provision template used to create this config file:

/data/disk/o1/config/includes/nginx_vhost_common.conf

We have actually copied this from Drupal core, but you can simply edit nginx_vhost_common.conf after every Octopus upgrade to remove this protection.
