export default {  async fetch(request) {    // Send original request to the origin    const response = await fetch(request);    // Check if origin responded with 403 status code    if (response.status == 403) {      // If so, redirect to this URL      const destinationURL = "https://example.com";      // With this status code      const statusCode = 301;      // Serve redirect      return Response.redirect(destinationURL, statusCode);    }    // Otherwise, serve origin's response    else {      return response;    }  },};
