Network connection lost would be. The errors around WebSockets aren't ideal, and https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/pull/804 hopes to improve them.

I guess I'm confused how to prevent

here - I assume that's what error messages generated by that PR should tell us?

It looks like that PR has been untouched for 3 months-ish, do you know what the status is or should I leave a comment?

I'm building a ticketing system and need puppeteer for pdf screenshots. Any eta on when @cloudflare/puppeteer will be available to use in workers? Super keen for this since it will mean I can migrate to Cloudflare from vercel, render.com and aws.

Hey, I’m using my own express server hosted on my vps to handle request for database updating, and then making the requests on my worker to update things in my database (mongodb)

What is a good way to authorise this? To make sure no one can make random PATCH requests for example? Atm, I’m just using an authorisation header with a random string and then checkin that on my express server. Is there a better way?

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:04 PM

It’s only for something small so it doesn’t matter really but it’s more of a learning thing

Create a DNS record for it, then put the Worker on top.

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/20/23, 12:06 PM

Then all requests hitting your origin have to pass through your Worker first, where you are free to accept/deny

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:07 PM

So I’d check if it was a patch, and the route was the specific route that would be on my express server?

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/20/23, 12:08 PM

That, or just never pass a request back to your origin unless it is you making a DB request

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:08 PM

And how would I make sure it was my worker

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:09 PM

Also, is it not very optimal to just have an authorisation header?

..gwapes And how would I make sure it was my worker

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/20/23, 12:10 PM

You could use a Tunnel, and then not expose the server at all

..gwapes Also, is it not very optimal to just have an authorisation header?

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/20/23, 12:11 PM

You can, but with this method, you literally can't hit the origin at all(barring any issues on CF's side), while with the Auth Header method, a bad actor can still hammer your DB with requests, even if they aren't authorized

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:12 PM

I’m a bit lost with the last part there. I only actually make the db update if the auth headers value is that “random string”, so it won’t do anything if it’s not right

HHello, I’m Allie!You could use a Tunnel, and then not expose the server at all

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/20/23, 12:13 PM

Yes, but in this case, if I want to take your DB out of commision, I can just send random requests to your server. The changes won't be able to be applied, but because your server is busy handling my requests, it won't have time to handle your valid changes

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:13 PM

But that would be an express like thing, right? Rather then a db thing. Because it’s just busy not doing anything but handling the wrong requests

.gwapes•11/20/23, 12:14 PM

So it would be better to return wrong requests from my cf worker where everything goes through anyway?

Is there an npm package or something similar for how to type the context param here

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, context) {
    // Proxy to origin on unhandled/uncaught exceptions
    context.passThroughOnException();
    throw new Error('Oops');
  },
};

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, context) {
    // Proxy to origin on unhandled/uncaught exceptions
    context.passThroughOnException();
    throw new Error('Oops');
  },
};
