Hi, after days of trying about 5 different approaches to solving this I come here in defeat hoping for some help from you fine people. I can think of several possible solutions, and im not sure it can be solved purely in Hugo, most of my solutions involve huge and my server (Vercel) working together…

So I solved the problem with a hack. I will leave the solution here in case anyone else comes here with this problem. I still welcome a more elegant solution if anyone has one though. Ok so the solution works by letting Hugo create the index.html variant the usual way and then writing a script that…

Its a limitation of vercel… you cant redirect away from a page that provides a file. When Hugo provides the index.html for that path, the vercel rewrite is ignored… vercel can only rewrite paths that would otherwise result in a 404.

Yuck. You might explore hosting alternatives.

yea, thankfully i think im pretty close to a solution, its hacky though.

I do not understand why the rewrite cannot specifically request index.json. Is this a Vercel limitation?
