Routing for specific files in Azure front Door

I have an application which if fronted with Azure Front Door. I need to add a robots.txt to the root of the domain and cannot host that within the application.

I was hoping to add the robots.txt to a storage blob /robots/robots.txt and setup a new route for /robots.txt and an origin of /robots/robots.txt but this appears as /robots/robots.txt/robots.txt in the back end.

What do I set the origin path to to find the correct file?

Unfortunately, any matched pattern is replaced by the origin path, this apparently includes file names. To go around this in this scenario, we can use a URL rewrite rule instead.

Origin Group configuration
Pattern to match: /robots.txt
Origin path: /

Rule Set Rules:
Action: URL Rewrite
Source pattern: /
Destination: /robots/robots.txt
Preserve unmatched path: No
