What is your usecase here? Parcel determines the filetype based on the extension, so I don't see how this could be useful.

There are always random files that you want to serve from your site. In this case I'm making a simple ping URL to use for monitoring. However I can also imagine examples like executable file downloads which typically don't have extensions.
I understand that I won't be getting transformations because of the minimal information that Parcel has, however it is still useful to have it copy them over.
