Well, if there are no other contenders for that rule, then it would certainly help me. Or perhaps exempt .js files in general: browsers would typically cache those themselves, so they won't request them even from Cloudfare unless the user would explicitly bypass or flush his browser cache.
But why are you so certain that you cannot control Cloudfare through a script on chessvariants.com? I guess you flush files from the Cloudfare cache (or perhaps the entire cache) through a TCP/IP connection. So why not have the submission script open a TCP/IP connection to it, and send the required commands over it? Or do you have to solve some "I am not a robot" puzzle there?
