Fastly's `public-ip-list` is the only major CDN IP-range feed in this corpus with zero freshness/versioning field at all — no syncToken, no Last-Modified semantics beyond the raw HTTP header, no generation counter

## Probes

```
GET https://api.fastly.com/public-ip-list
(no Fastly-Key header)
```

## Observed

HTTP/2 200, keyless, `content-type: application/json`, `cache-control: no-store`
(explicitly uncacheable per the response header, despite `age: 32` and
`x-cache: HIT, HIT` showing Fastly's own edge serving it from cache anyway — the
`no-store` directive contradicts the observed caching behavior). Body:

```json
{"addresses":["23.235.32.0/20","43.249.72.0/22", ...19 IPv4 ranges total...],"ipv6_addresses":["2a04:4e40::/32","2a04:4e42::/32"]}
```

Only two top-level keys, no `syncToken`, no `last_updated`, no ETag in the response
headers at all — the only change-detection signal available is diffing the raw body
or trusting the HTTP `date`/`age` headers, which the server's own `cache-control:
no-store` says not to rely on for caching purposes (though it clearly does cache,
served via its own Varnish/Envoy edge).

## Conclusion

Of the cloud/CDN IP-range feeds observed across this corpus (AWS `syncToken`,
GCP `syncToken`+`creationTime`, Azure's dated-URL versioning, GitHub's
`cache-control: max-age=60`), Fastly's is the sparsest: a bare two-field JSON object
with no versioning metadata whatsoever, self-contradicting cache headers
(`no-store` plus a cache hit), and only 19 IPv4 + 2 IPv6 ranges total — a much
smaller published surface than AWS's or GCP's thousands of CIDRs or Oracle's 1,107,
consistent with Fastly's shared-anycast architecture using far fewer distinct
advertised blocks per edge. A client polling this endpoint for change detection has
no better option than hashing the raw response body and comparing to its last-seen
hash, since there is no token, no `ETag`, and no `Last-Modified` header offered at
all despite the server clearly caching the response internally. The `age: 32` header
confirms the specific response seen here really was served from a shared edge cache
32 seconds old at request time, which is the only timing signal available at all —
and it is advisory only, not something `cache-control: no-store` permits a
spec-compliant client to rely on for its own caching decisions.

How observed: 2026-10-05T10:24:49Z, anonymous curl GET(s), no credential sent.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
