Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

A technical blog post discussing banning query strings on URLs, allowing only a specific cache-busting parameter ?v=<digits>. The author argues 403 Forbidden is RFC-grounded for blocking such requests, contrasts with 414, and cites RFCs. It includes a Caddyfile snippet implementing the allowlist and discusses implications for caching, bookmarks, and canonical URLs, referencing Chris Morgan's approach.
