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

where are those options?

daveOP•7/5/23, 9:03 PM

this is for ssh for context

ah fudge I see this is my fault

yeah

dave

daveOP•7/5/23, 9:06 PM

so a redirect rule broke it

dave

D

daveOP•7/5/23, 9:18 PM

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?

Is it possible to have callback / event from Cloudflare when certain asset is exired in CDN or deleted from cache?

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

McSneaky

Aah, I'll just disable cache for given asset

Then there's no need to wait

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 ClientRequestSourceClientRequestSource.

McSneaky

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:03 PM

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

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

Jup, but it's huge thing, getting changes thro there is rather long and tedious process

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:32 PM

But I think for proof-of-concept demo, I'll go cacheless and if things go well, then before production can hopefully figure out and do some changes to client software that would allow direct updating from WS connection

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:38 PM

It's basically single .js file Vue application, that needs to take data from parent page, that gets it's data from live feed. Tricky part is, that so far all the data has been baked into that JS file at delivery time, so it's huge change architecturally to change it now

Why is serving a 5-10 second out of date file so bad?

Erisa

E

Erisa•7/5/23, 10:47 PM

Ordinarily you would see the .js file keyed by a hash in the filename (e.g. script.abcdef.js) and then the html page specifies which one to load, so when you purge cache it updates the html page to point to the new js but the old js stays around for those on the old html

dave

Ddave Why is serving a 5-10 second out of date file so bad?

McSneaky

M

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:47 PM

Update needs to happen within some seconds max. File itself could be older actually. But since right now only way to get data in is update file, that needs to be updated
From business side, it's bad if your betting data is 10sec late and decisions are made based on that

Erisa

E

Erisa•7/5/23, 10:48 PM

For live updates you should 100% be using a websocket

McSneaky

McSneaky•7/5/23, 10:48 PM

Aah, that's actually interesting idea. Currently hashes are rather random. But could make them kinda guessable. So script within HTML can try to "guess" next hash and ping that every x time
