+//
+// PR https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/1015 added the ability for
+// reverse proxies using Anubis in subrequest auth mode to look at the path
+// of a request as there are many rules in the wild that rely on checking
+// the path. This is how access to things like robots.txt or anything in the
+// .well-known directory is unaffected by Anubis.
+//
+// However this logic was also enabled for non-subrequest deployments of Anubis,
+// meaning that a specially crafted request could include a /.well-known/
+// path in it and then get around Anubis with little effort.
+//
+// This fix gates the logic behind a new plumbed variable named subrequestMode
+// that only fires when Anubis is running in subrequest auth mode. This
+// properly contains that workaround so that the logic does not fire in
+// most deployments.
