Unexpected response on a specific url for my proxied site

Hi, there,
I’ve recently set up some Cloudflare proxied services. All of them work as expected, except a single url (as follows) that always return a “404 - Page Not Found” titled response with a status code of 200 even when the origin server is down!

http(s)://api.*******.com/v1/apiinfo/version

Unexpected response:
20221107143038

$ curl --head https://api.******.com/v1/apiinfo/version
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Please see the expected response on another url:

$ curl --head https://api.*****.com/v1/apiinfo/test123

I’ve tried the following with no luck :sob::

  • append url with random query string eg: ?test1234
  • turn on/off Page Rules
  • Purge Everything
  • switch SSL/TLS encryption mode to OFF/Flexible/Full/Full(strict)
  • switch to http/https

Thanks in advance for any help!

I’ve solved the issue myself by following this thread https://community.cloudflare.com/t/getting-404-error-that-doesnt-belong-to-my-server/301813/30
