Should HEAD responses get X-cache-tags headers too?
Since bots often use HEADs to check for content updates or if the server is alive, it makes sense to cache HEADs via CDN.
With this same reasoning, I think the upper process should attach the cache headers to both GETs and HEADs.
Hi Lucas,
I missed this! I'll do some research on this topic.
Hey, I appreciate it!
I worked around this issue on my end by serving HEAD requests like GET within CF. (which is technically ok but really not ideal).
but yeah, I was having issues with HEAD requests being uncached, which ends up akin to being DDoSed by web crawlers... Figured I'd bring it up here. :)
