'content-type' header issue when validating ApplePay Well Known Association file in Pages instance
Hi there, I've been directed here from CloudFlare Support. I have an Apple Well Known verification file saved in my Pages application: https://checkouttemp-dev.shopthru.dev/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association For the Pages project shopthru-checkout-dev.pages.dev which has the latest Production deployment of https://454ea75a.shopthru-checkout-dev.pages.dev. Account ID: c18d716869a1d1fb1b4d36b576f6929c The file can be loaded via a browser and a curl -I https://checkouttemp-dev.shopthru.dev/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association responds as expected (well, I think). However when I use this tool to validate the file (enter checkouttemp-dev.shopthru.dev as the Domain): https://branch.io/resources/aasa-validator/ It shows a validation error of: "Your file's 'content-type' header was not found or was not recognized." I have been trying things like setting the correct headers in a _headers file for this project: 
/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
Pragma: no-cache
ETag: ""
Accept-Ranges: bytes

But to no avail. I believe there's something intrinsic about Pages going on here? - This issue is present whether or not I use the default domain (shopthru-checkout-dev.pages.dev) or the custom domain (checkouttemp-dev.shopthru.dev). - This validation error is occurring with known good files Association files as well. - This validation passes when run against the same field served from Google Cloud in a side experiment. Are there any known issues with Pages and Apple Well Known files around headers etc? Thanks
