So I decided to switch the nameserver records on my fossjon.com domain over to Cloudflare’s service for two different reasons. One is that they offer more advanced https reverse proxying tech along with a better dns management interface as well! I still have the domain registered with Google Domains as they also offer pretty good mx record email forwarding via gmail.

Cloudflare won’t let you directly rewrite the HTTP HOST header field anymore, however, they will let you setup a more advanced HTTP JavaScript worker process. This process can handle the incoming web proxy requests along with the outgoing responses and perform some modifications on them. This is an extremely powerful framework and it behaves more like a proper reverse proxy server would!

I created a GitHub repo to track the worker javascripts: github.com/stoops/cfworkers

Note: It seems like CF offers a better DNS API service, however, I couldn’t yet find a DNS backup button to help save all my records locally (hacky webarchive file but at least it’s sorted nicely).

javascript:(function(){
var t = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0];
var s = t.getElementsByTagName("tr");
var m = {}, l = [], z = 1;
for (var i=0; i<s.length; ++i) {
  var d = s[i].getElementsByTagName("td");
  if (d.length > 4) {
    var k = d[2].innerText.trim();
    if (k.endsWith(".com")) { k = "@"; }
    if (!(k in m)) { m[k] = {"r":[]}; l.push(k); }
    var r = d[1].innerText.trim();
    if (!(r in m[k])) { m[k][r] = []; m[k]["r"].push(r); }
    m[k][r].push([d[3].innerText.trim(), d[4].innerText.trim()]);
  }
}
var b = "style='border: 1px solid black;padding: 4px;white-space: nowrap;'";
var o = "<table style='padding: 8px;'><tr><th "+b+">No.</th><th "+b+">Time</th><th "+b+">Record</th><th "+b+">Type</th><th "+b+">Value</th></tr>";
l.sort();
for (var i in l) {
  var k = l[i];
  m[k]["r"].sort();
  for (var j in m[k]["r"]) {
    var r = m[k]["r"][j];
    m[k][r].sort();
    for (var d in m[k][r]) {
      o += ("<tr><td "+b+">"+z+"</td><td "+b+">"+m[k][r][d][1]+"</td><td "+b+">"+k+"</td><td "+b+">"+r+"</td><td "+b+">"+m[k][r][d][0]+"</td></tr>"); ++z;
    }
  }
}
o += "</table>";
document.head.innerHTML = document.head.innerHTML.replace(/script/ig, "xscript");
document.body.innerHTML = o;
})();
