CChaika like hardcoding the entire json list of colos, and then looking up for region?

yes

Chaika

CChaika id is just the numerical number assigned, not the iata airport code

dave•4/1/24, 2:27 PM

hmm, doesn't substring(cf.ray_id, 17)substring(cf.ray_id, 17) get you most of the way there?

I get MIAMIA for my location.

it seems to complain that the json isn't dynamic too

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:29 PM

I think the end problems are the same though, what if it's a brand new colo not in that list?

Chaika

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:30 PM

snippets would be a nice solution for this lol, one day

not everything would nicely follow redirects either

hmm, is there a function to use that would fallback to a default region?

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:31 PM

if json lookup worked you could maybe embed the json in both the match and the replace to check if it exists first.

bahaha I was thinking that too lol

I want to ideally stick to pro-only things

oh, that's an interesting idea

dave

hang on

dave•4/1/24, 2:33 PM

can't I do this with the substring and make it even easier?

dave

dave•4/1/24, 2:34 PM

one sec

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:35 PM

I hate how restrictive the ruleset engine is lol

Chaika

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:35 PM

so close so being super flexible and then it kneecaps itself

dave

D

dave•4/1/24, 2:35 PM

substring(cf.ray_id, 17) in {"MIA" "EWR"}substring(cf.ray_id, 17) in {"MIA" "EWR"}

dave

dave•4/1/24, 2:35 PM

this saves!

Chaika

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:36 PM

btw there is both https://colo.cloudflare.chaika.me/?idregion and https://colo.cloudflare.chaika.me/?iataregion

dave

D

dave•4/1/24, 2:37 PM

oh perfect, think I should use idregion to avoid needing the substring?

dave

D

dave•4/1/24, 2:37 PM

well

dave

D

dave•4/1/24, 2:37 PM

maybe substring is better since there's less things to match on

Chaika

C

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:37 PM

plus if they ever add a new colo to an existing iata, no need to worry about time for it to be picked up

Chaika

C

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 2:38 PM

you'd have to be semi-flexible with that setup like the original worker is. For example, they said in d1 later this week they were talking about adding a new Oceania region for DOs in Awstralia

are you talking about cf.colo.region?

true but I excluded it/flattened it in both https://colo.cloudflare.chaika.me/?iataregion because nothing actually there

maybe was a bad idea lol

I'll make those existing endpoints just for r2 and add a new cfregionr2 property because I doubt R2 will expand there right away, don't want to break anything

you'd have to check on your origin for why it isn't working now though, if the ddos is over can't mitigate it in the past, perhaps exceeded some resource limit though

new iata codes/pops? I was looking over my data and maybe 2 a month or so and then nothing for a few months

There's new colos at the time though, mutiple times a month. Sometimes they might just being pulled/renumbered though

cool, I won't worry about it too much then. I have cache everything enabled anyway, so even the wrong region wouldn't be that bad.

I'm almost sure the answer is no, is there any way I could use the same hostname for multiple public R2 buckets, without a Worker, snippet, or load balancing?

Chaika

C

ChaikaOP•4/1/24, 3:37 PM

it uses cf for saas under the hood, greedily grabbing control of the hostname

R2 Custom Domains are workers under the hood, but just like Pages, CF for SaaS exempts you from the typical worker-worker same-zone weirdness
