Error creating custom domain for a backend canister via candid interface

Developers Motoko
1

I added .well-knonw folder and ic-assets.json file in the backend_canister at root level and deployed to the mainent. But they are being ignored. and when i tried to give a custom domain to the canister interface of the backend_canister with:
curl -sLv -X POST
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’
https://icp0.io/registrations
–data @- <<EOF
{
“name”: “custom-domain”
}
EOF
but i got the error:
failed to retrieve known domains from canister - canister-id.

I’ve not idea of Motoko, since you tagged this issue in that section, I’m not sure I’m the best to answer. However, the .well-known/ic-domains file to set up a custom domain should probably be placed on your frontend canister. Hope that helps.

I have accidentally selected the motoko tag. And as you have mentioned the files should be placed in frontend canister, yes i have created custom domain for the frontend. but i want to create a custom domain for backend canister to manage some of the canister calls through the domain.

Your backend canister has to expose the ./well-known/ic-domains though a certified http_request which is a function pre-implemented, I guess, in your frontend canister but, you may not have implemented?

(As a bystander…) That name seems to contain a typo. Please double-check to exclude a pilot error.

The file name is correct in the code it is mistaken while im typing the query here.

Not really. In this example listed on the website, they mention an example, but it leads to a 404. Today, someone posted a similar question on the forum, where they encountered an error related to certification. Perhaps someone could share a working example.
