Allow API access to add rewrite rules to the .htaccess file for a Webflow Hosted Site

We're currently running into issues creating URL structures for widgets with dynamic content that we want to embed in Webflow hosted sites.

Having a way to add rewrite rules to the individual site .htaccess files would allow our widgets to be fully indexed by search engines and load much faster.

Although I understand self hosting would solve this issue, we want our customers to be able to keep enjoying the Webflow hosted features and editor for their websites.

    why is this still not implemented?
    this is almost as bad as not having an 'undo' option in your live editor :/

    Need this to leverage browser caching if hosting happens with Webflow.

    I understand this most likely can't be done until there is a change in customer support.

    Is there a plan in place to strengthen the support team to allow real time access via chat?

    Need this feature so we can add HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to .htaccess like this: <add name="Strict-Transport-Security" value="max-age=31536000" preload/>

    We're moving our site over from Wordpress and have a number of rewrite rules in our current .htaccess that would also need to be carried over, so this would be great!

    We are running in some issues regarding SEO and setting Cashing rules for a number of websites because of the lack of being able to alter the .htaccess file. For me to keep on pushing Webflow to our larger clients this is one of the things that are deal breakers, especially when I sit around the table with our SEO team.

    Voting for this - not having .htaccess is amateur level - not only are you killing SEO value but preventing people from switching. 

    If someone had an HTTP site and they switched to you all their work is kaput. What a genius idea not to allow .htaccess /s

    Chipping in a vote for this feature. I'm working in the wine industry a bit, and (sadly) we cannot use the built in webflow ecommerce features due to the unique requirements of shipping and distributing to wine lists over the internet.

    Anyhow, the industry uses a bunch of messy plugins, list management, and cart features. URL rewrites and .htaccess access would help make this… less messy. :)

    I'm having trouble with svg inside <img> tag on front facing site, looks fine in the editor though.

    I've read that adding "AddType image/svg+xml svg" will fix this problem, honestly I was pretty disappointed to find out I can't fix this..

    Webflow, please implement this for all us who need every advantage over our competitors.  Higher rankings for us means more success (and more $$$).
