Our current test server is secured with HTTP authentication, and Cloudflare serves as our CDN caching solution. The aim is to shield it from Google’s indexing attempts at our website, given past robots.txt file deletions.
The question remains: Can Cloudflare cache content in the presence of authentication, and if so, how does it achieve this?
It seems counterintuitive, as one might expect content to transmit directly from the server to the browser.
Thanks
