The Expires and Cache-Control flags form Apache server do not show

[dev39]

In Cloudflare I have setup under Cache >> Browser Cache Expiration option “Respect existing headers” and even-though I did this I don’t get any Expires and Cache-Control fags in the response, that I set in Apache
regarding caching.

This is the response I get

In the apache2 I have everything set up: modules header and expire all enabled and I added all the necessary ExpiresByType rules, but still nothing is being shown, in header.

Is there some extra rule I missing regarding Cloudflare, so that I cloud get my origin cache rules. Any help would be much appreciated.

Can you show us what the output of this request is, if you resolve directly to origin?

Here is an example with curl:
curl -I https://mysite.com/path --resolve mysite.com:443:<origin ip>

hi martin, thanks for the quick answer, the thing is my servers sits behind load balancer, and load balancer only has and DNS name, so when I took the Ip address behind that balancer, to place it in --resolve. I still got and response that was still somehow cumming from Cloudflare which should be impossible in this case

Thanks, for the help, I need to look in to this deeper, as to figure what I am doing wrong.

Allright. That means that curl probably didnt resolve with the specified IP. The IP you tried resolving doesnt belong to Cloudflare, right?

Probably you could try to do a nslookup on the load balancers hostname. That will give you the IP of the load balancer.

Also if you try to curl a non-https url, make sure to change 443 to 80 in above mentioned example.
