What is the name of the domain?
What is the issue you’re encountering
When I add a “Cache Everything” cache rule, it causes all requests that hit the rule to not be compressed from origin->CF, due to the accept-encoding header not being present
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
Hi! I have been chasing down a confusing increase of origin bandwidth, and it looks to me like the culprit is that at least for some of our zones, setting a “Cache Everything” rule (either through Cache Rules, or cacheEverything: true in a worker) causes the resulting request from Cloudflare->Origin to lose the Accept-Encoding: gzip,br header that is normally used for all CF->origin requests.
Is this intended behavior? A bug? Has anyone encountered anything like this before? The CF docs say
On all plans, Cloudflare requests content from the origin server using the accept-encoding: br, gzip
To make things more confusing, doing a second request to precisely the same URL (still with the Cache Everything rule) will have the proper Accept-Encoding header to origin
GET /?foo=bar123 -
GET /?foo=bar123 - Accept-Encoding: gzip, br
GET /?foo=bar234 -
I am a bit baffled by the behavior. Hoping there’s some simple thing I have misconfigured, but I’ve tested it in a variety of different zones, different types of origin servers, etc.
