301 redirects back to origin site

[user2281]

Our provider is offering Cloudflare CDN in our hosting package and is also managing the DNS entries to enable that.
Our website is www.argusmonitor.com and all the stuff I want to have cached I will have to refer to by using cdn.argusmonitor.com. This seems to be working in general, but if I look closely, I can see that Cloudflare is redirecting the requests back to our site?!.

This is done using a 301 (moved permanently) redirect and not only once (as would be expected after purging the cache) but also after days.

For example:

$> curl -l https://cdn.argusmonitor.com/assets/en/screen06.png

301 Moved Permanently

Moved Permanently

The document has moved here.

---

Apache Server at cdn.argusmonitor.com Port 80

I have no rules or anything I am aware of set up, but the issue started after logging in to the Dashboard, so MAYBE I have changed something by accident (the only thing I wanted to do was changing the cache TTL to 16 days).

Can anyone tell my what might be wrong or what I am missing that my content does not get cached anymore?

OK, the overzealous auto-format was messing up my example – so here it is again:

`
$> curl -l https://cdn.argusmonitor.com/assets/en/screen06.png

301 Moved Permanently

Moved Permanently

The document has moved here.

---

Apache Server at cdn.argusmonitor.com Port 80 `

That is most definitely not Cloudflare doing the redirect. And it looks like your setup is badly misconfigured. You used a ‘curl’ command to HTTPS, but the server is responding on Port 80.

Yes, thanks a lot. The problem indeed seemed to be ‘home made’. I had some rewrite rules that must have prevented the cache from being filled (this is my working hypothesis at the moment).

At least if I prepend the rules I have with

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^cdn.argusmonitor.com$ [NC

then it seems to work. At least those 301 redirects have gone away.
