Yeah, I think so. Because if Amazon can't serve the file economically, is Cloudflare gonna be able to?

"That’s right, Cloudflare saw requests for a 13.7 GB file and sent them straight to origin every time BY DESIGN. Ouch!"
So what's the right thing here? I assume that the content is cached as it is streamed so it's not looking before it leaps. If the caching is going to fail, return a 5xx? Maybe cache a 5xx after it figures out that file is too big?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
