File browser fails to display files beginning with dot

Created by: kaustavdm

This is probably related to #2544 (closed). I've recently that when I'm trying to access files beginning with a dot, e.g. .gitignore, .gitattributes, nginx pops up an "Authentication Required" box asking for user and password in the browser.

bundle exec rake:check gives all green.
