So robots.txt is not supported by Cloudflare to cache/proxy it? That would be a weird regulation. And I bet everyone violates the Cloudflare ToS then.
> Use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service.
We will never know the reasoning of the support agent who replied to the EasyList maintainers, but I can imagine that it is indeed disproportionate for EasyList.
I really hope that Cloudflare actually sees that they are making a wrong decision here and actually help the EasyList maintainers.
What is the reason for proxying through Cloudflare? Are there any bandwidth limits or performance issues when directly serving those files from GitHub?
Make sure you do it differently than how Muse Group did it with Audacity (specifically the announcement and explanation of why and what parts) [0]. Which I'd argue is not particularly difficult to do.
