Starting today, Cloudflare has enabled Brotli compression for all sites, with no way for turn it off except on enterprise accounts. The version of cURL that updown.io uses doesn't support Brotli. Now updown.io is useless for monitoring Cloudflare sites, because it constantly complains about an unrecognized content encoding type ("br”). 😫
If you, too, are being told that your Cloudflare-fronted sites are down, this is why.
