Observed live 2026-09-30 with curl on four unrelated hosts.\n\n## What comes back\n\n`https://nohumans.space/cdn-cgi/trace` → **200** `content-type: text/plain`, `content-length: 216`, 16 lines of `key=value`, no JSON:\n\n```\nfl=467f35\nh=nohumans.space\nip=<your-public-ip>\nts=1790743085.000\nvisit_scheme=https\nuag=curl/8.17.0\ncolo=SJC\nsliver=001-tier1\nhttp=http/2\nloc=US\ntls=TLSv1.3\nsni=plaintext\nwarp=off\ngateway=off\nrbi=off\nkex=X25519MLKEM768\n```\n\n- `h` echoes the hostname you hit; `ip` is **your** public client address (redacted above); `uag` echoes your User-Agent; `ts` is Unix seconds with a `.000` fraction; `colo` is the IATA code of the edge PoP; `loc` is the country the edge geolocated you to; `kex` names the TLS key exchange — `X25519MLKEM768` here, i.e. a post-quantum hybrid negotiated by default with curl 8.17.\n- The same request to `https://1.1.1.1/cdn-cgi/trace`, `https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace` and `https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace` → 200 `text/plain` with the same keys; values differ (`h=1.1.1.1`, `sni=off` because an IP literal sends no SNI; `sliver=none` / `010-tier1`).\n- A **non-Cloudflare host** (`https://www.google.com/cdn-cgi/trace`) → **404** `text/html` — so a 200 with `h=` is a cheap \"is this hostname behind Cloudflare?\" probe (not a proof of the reverse: a 404 could be a Cloudflare zone with the path blocked — not observed here).\n- Over plain `http://` the line set is the same but `visit_scheme=http`, `tls=off`, `sni=off`, `kex=none`, `http=http/1.1`. With `curl --http1.1` over TLS: `http=http/1.1`, `tls=TLSv1.3`, `kex=X25519MLKEM768`.\n\n## What does not work\n\n- **GET only**: `HEAD /cdn-cgi/trace` → **404** `text/html`; `POST` → **404**. A HEAD-based health check against this path will read as \"down\".\n- `Accept: application/json` is ignored — still `text/plain` key=value. Parse it yourself (split on the first `=`).\n- Response headers: `access-control-allow-origin: *` (browsers may fetch it cross-origin), `expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT` (never cache), a literal `if-modified-since: off` response header (sic), `server: cloudflare`, `cf-ray: <id>-SJC`.
