This fills a long-standing gap: problems like stray Set-Cookie headers on static assets, incorrect Cache-Control directives, or misconfigured ETags couldn't be fixed at request time. Cache Response Rules support three actions: stripping headers (Set-Cookie, ETag, Last-Modified) that break caching, managing cache tags (including translating surrogate keys during CDN migrations), and modifying Cache-Control directives with a cloudflare_only flag to decouple CDN and browser cache lifetimes. The feature complements existing Cache Rules (which operate on requests) and is available on all Cloudflare plans via the dashboard or API. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
