Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Configure a rewrite:

    rewrites: async () => [
      {
        source: "/.well-known/jwks.json",
        destination: "/api/auth/jwks",
      },
    ]

Make requests to http://localhost:3000/.well-known/jwks.json

You will see logs containing:

[better-call]: Make sure the URL has the basePath (/api/auth).
 GET /.well-known/jwks.json 404 in 39ms
[better-call]: Make sure the URL has the basePath (/api/auth).
 GET /.well-known/jwks.json 404 in 41ms

Current vs. Expected behavior

It seems better-auth is enforcing that requests need to have /api/auth as the basePath- but I think this requirement is too strict-
/.well-known/jwks.json is a standard jwks location, rewrites should be allowed.

(There are also a well-known location for openid-configuration which would be useful for the OIDC plugin).

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.1.14

Provide environment information

- macOS 15.2
- Chrome / curl

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Backend, Other

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
import { jwt } from "better-auth/plugins";
export const auth = betterAuth({
  plugins: [jwt()],
});

Additional context

No response

You should use redirects instead. rewrite doesn't change the request url.

I guess this works- it's just an extra round trip. The call is cached anyways though so I'll mark this solved.

@coopbri commented on GitHub (Apr 25, 2025):

Is it possible at all to use rewrites? Many OIDC RP (and other auth) libraries depend on nesting well-known endpoints directly under the apex domain, e.g. https://example.com/.well-known/jwks, https://example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration so require custom configuration
