Can you pre-approve an entire domain? (Pretty sure no, but sanity checking.)

You cannot

hmm, I'm looking at one of my http logpush files and I don't see the parent ray ID in the same file as the ray ID itself.

you could use a custom field for the cf-worker request header I believe as well, would work for worker requests from other accounts, although that would only give you zone

ah rip, I've noticed logpush is a bit weird as to where it runs in the flow. Adding request headers via transform rules doesn't allow them to be included as custom fields, only as response headers.

Check that websockets are enabled and you have binding cookie off. Unfortunately there isn’t a good way to get logs from cloudflared for this, at least that I’ve found

so a redirect rule broke it

dave

Why do redirect rules apply to tcp/ssh tunnels?

dave

Ddave Why do redirect rules apply to tcp/ssh tunnels? 😅

Cyb3r-Jak3

C

Cyb3r-Jak3•7/5/23, 9:20 PM

If I remember correctly it’s because tunnels aren’t really TCP unless you use private networking. They are just TCP over websocket

dave

D

daveOP•7/5/23, 9:22 PM

Is there a generic way/expression to avoid apply a ruleset to tunnels?

Maybe go client and websocket if you can check if a request is a websocket

dave

D

hmm, or maybe just all websockets?

Daymn

Then I'll just have to assume it's going to be deleted about 10s after I send delete request

McSneaky

M

Aah, I'll just disable cache for given asset

Then there's no need to wait

Works for demo.. Won't work for production

As workaround. There's log stream. Are "asset x has been deleted" in logs? Or only requests are?

In a reallllly roundabout way you could probably make passthrough Worker that acts as an S3 endpoint, and then use the Workers Analytics Engine to log

Tried that one too, but it's like they say in docs. Deleting cached asset may take up to 20sec. And if I refresh instantly after cache clear request has recieved, assets will still be cached
If I wait 10s, then it's 50/50. Sometimes still have to wait 20s for all assets to actually be cleared from cache

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:05 PM

But cache clearing isn't instant

So refresh happens before actual cache clearing

Unsmart

U

Unsmart•7/5/23, 10:08 PM

cache clearing will never be instant it has to clear from hundreds of data centers

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:09 PM

Yeah, I'm OK with that. If I'd get callback, when was it actually cleared from everywhere. So I'm not waiting blindly

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:09 PM

Or per datacenter or however

Unsmart

U

Unsmart•7/5/23, 10:10 PM

Why does it matter?

Unsmart

U

Unsmart•7/5/23, 10:10 PM

removing the cache is just we will eventually try to clear it if we can

Unsmart

U

Unsmart•7/5/23, 10:11 PM

If cache is messing things up you might wanna try setting a lower cache value

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:12 PM

Dealing with rather complex real-time datafeed, which needs to re-pull new JS files from CDN
Getting milions of requests per second to those JS files at peak times, so no-cache is not an option in production and it has to be cached 100% for global coverage
But at the same time, pulling down updated JS file more than 3-5sec late, is quite bad for business

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:13 PM

Working around some legacy business decisions too.. Can't just directly feed data to client sadly. Had to do pile of hacks to get that somewhat working, but coz of legacy reasons and size constraints have to pull in new JS files and force refresh parent iframe
