Custom Purge not working with Pages

Developers Workers

Hey team!

I’m trying to remove a particular file from my website. The file in question is located here:

https://handbook.volkis.com.au/redirects.json

The site lives in Cloudflare Pages and using Custom Purge is not working. Here’s what I have done so far:

  • Checked to make sure the underlying hostname does not still contain the file. It doesn’t.
> curl -I -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' https://handbook-volkis.pages.dev/redirects.json
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
...
  • Checked the Age header of the cached file response. It does not reset after Custom Purge. The value is currently 60089
  • Rebuilt the Pages environment, then Custom Purge again. Nope
  • Waited 8+ hours overnight for the cache to simply expire. It hasn’t.
  • Turned on Developer Mode. I could still see the file.
  • Set the Browser Cache TTL to 2 minutes. Grasping as straws here…

Any assistance would be really appreciated. :pray:

Hello,

have you cleared the browser cache. For me the file is unavailable:

Well that’s interesting! I definitely checked that, even on other machines that have never seen that file before.

If it helps, I’m in Sydney, Australia. Maybe that matters and the cache is not being delete on all edge servers?

That is strange. The tool locabrowser.com receives a 404 form the canada location as well (i’m located in germany).

Using Locabrowser, it seems like only Australia is having this issue…

Edit: Additional info shows that Australia is being routed to an edge whose cache is not cleared:

Edit 2: Wanted to add more info to help CF staff track down the problem. Here are the response headers:
