Your rule screenshot omits some info (i.e action) can you send the full screenshot? ah I already see what's happening your rule is correct, but your postman request not

notice the green bubble at the Authorization tab? You got something configured over there, which is overriding the authorization header you set. Open that tab and set it to No auth

At my side I can confirm the WAF rule works fine when doing the correct postman request

Thank you! that works in postman

fetch(API_URL, {
          method: 'GET',
          headers: {
            'authorization': password,
          },
        })

fetch(API_URL, {
          method: 'GET',
          headers: {
            'authorization': password,
          },
        })

getting the expected 404 there This is while being on https://drive-api.soos.dev/ if you want to call it from another (sub)domain, then you're going to need to setup CORS and all that

What Hm I do have cors tho to *

Also side-note, I would recommend doing authentication on your API's side, not Cloudflare WAF

I want to off load everything to cf do you think its better to just do it on the api?

Peps•6mo ago

not from what I see

soosOP•6mo ago

can you check again now that I turned off the rule

Peps•6mo ago

you'll need to edit your Cloudflare WAF rule to pass requests with the OPTIONS method for CORS to work

and then just make sure your API handles those CORS requests correctly

yeah if the api is communicating for options anyway it doesn't make sense to have this on cloudflare thank you for the help @Peps
