Then it's just saying it's flattening it because otherwise cnames on apex aren't allowed in dns spec. You still need the record

hey friends. Looking for some out-of-the-box thinking. Custom Error Pages - we know it, we love it, but is there a clever way to serve a JSON response for a 502, i.e. for an API endpoint where the client doesn't accept HTML responses?

Looking through the CEP setup and both internal and external docs, it doesn't seem to be available, but I figured the clever minds here might have a Worker-around :lul:

Only usable via API right now but you can have them match on a normal ruleset engine expression, ex error code = and accept header has yyy

oh that's even easier then, why not Custom Error Responses? They do require Pro or higher
