Polyfill always fetched from source with 'age' header value higher than 'max-age' header value.
See original GitHub issueWhen requesting https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js?features=es5,es6,es7,default-3.6,Object.values&flags=gated&version=latest&unknown=ignore
I see the following response headers:
accept-ranges:bytes
access-control-allow-origin:*
age:1099341
cache-control:public, s-maxage=31536000, max-age=604800, stale-while-revalidate=604800, stale-if-error=604800
content-encoding:br
content-length:978
content-type:application/javascript;charset=utf-8
date:Fri, 25 Aug 2017 15:37:54 GMT
server:Cowboy
status:200
strict-transport-security:max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload
timing-allow-origin:*
vary:User-Agent
vary:Accept-Encoding
via:1.1 vegur
via:1.1 varnish
x-cache:HIT
x-cache-hits:1
x-content-type-options:nosniff
x-frame-options:sameorigin
x-served-by:cache-ams4135-AMS
x-timer:S1503675475.984820,VS0,VE0
x-xss-protection:1; mode=block
Because the age
value is higher than the max-age
value the response is never stored in browser cache and always fetched from the CDN.
Would it be possible to omit the age
header?
update
Have done some more research on this. The ‘age’ header seems to be set by fastly. This seems an incorrect configuration to me as the current cache mechanic for polyfill.io is to store indefinitely in CDN and purge on update. Serving “stale”, as indicated by the response headers can’t be intentional.
