Cloudflare not respecting cdn cache headers
Hi, on my website I've set Cache-Control to
public, s-maxage=3600 and Vary to Cookie, Accept-Encoding, because I wanna cache landing page for 5 minutes, but Cookie, Accept-Encoding seems to be always DYNAMIC. I don't see any option I could change in dashboard, am I doing something wrong or understanding wrong?

Cloudflare will never cache html by default unless you make a cache rule telling it to do so, and if you do, Cookie headers will be thrown away, CF doesn't respect vary by cookie
You could make a cache rule that doesn't cache if cookies are sent
oh
damn
okay tanks
Does is apply to url extension? I have another route that has no .png extension, but it has Content Type header set to image/png and it also doesn't seem to cache it.

The default cache is by extension, - so if you want to cache "
/widget" (and not "/widget.png"), I would say you need a cache rule.

Cloudflare only caches based on file extension and not by MIME type.
