Caching example
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/cache-post-request/
In this example, a POST request is cached. However, when there's a cache miss, we have the line
response = await fetch(request) but isn't that just going to hit the worker again?
I am trying to achieve something similar, but am looking for a way to encode the 'forwarding' url in my request, and wondering what the best way to do it is - query params, pathname, in the body or custom headers or something else?Cloudflare Docs

In this example, a POST request is cached. However, when there's a cache miss, we have the line response = await fetch(request) but isn't that just going to hit the worker again?The assumption is this worker is running on a route in front of a normal origin, in which case await fetch(request) goes through to the actual origin
I am trying to achieve something similar, but am looking for a way to encode the 'forwarding' url in my request, and wondering what the best way to do it is - query params, pathname, in the body or custom headers or something else?Well in this example the url that's called is equal to the one called on the server, otherwise I think the easiest would be headers
ah right, I've come into workers as an alternative to aws lambda so wasn't thinking of it in front of a regular kinda route
