Wildcard/glob po.js requests

[Davide Principi]

I found this one among my browser requests to Cockpit 183:
    https://myhost:9090/cockpit/$eb66ef5b6a7928a1af12a2229110a2817e5458e8e87fcb0...
The returned payload actually seems the negotiated content of po.js language files, concatenated!
 
I searched the docs and code but couldn't find anything about that.  Can you help me?
 
Is it considered a "stable" API?
 
Thank you,
Davide Principi

For the globbing:

https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/urls.md
    https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/src/bridge/cockpitpac...

For content negotiation:

https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/packages.html#package-minified
    https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/src/common/cockpitweb...

(I think the docs don't completely match the code here...)

Yes, all external projects depend on this behavior, so we can't really
break this anymore. :)
