Custom Hostnames
Hii,
So im quite new to this custom hostnames thing and in fact it is my first time using it. Now my priority is that the end user has to do as few as possible. I played a bit around with the API and now i am a bit confused. When i add a new Hostname it verifies it automatically without me doing anything but adding the hostname via api. I mean that's good and all but is it meant to be like that? Since im using the HTTP validation the api returns also something called "http_url" and "http_body". (POST https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/ZONE_ID/custom_hostnames) I wonder if it verifies the domain automatically what is the point of it then? Can that be because i basically used a subdomain and didn't use an entirely different domain? Or is that intended?
I also noticed that if i point my subdomain directly to the fallback origin directly it works just fine. So what is really the point of the custom hostnames?
