Configuring data exchange between clients and the CDN

When a client requests through your service a file published via Cloud CDN, an HTTP or HTTPS connection is established between the client and the CDN load balancer, depending on the URI scheme: http://cdn.example.com/styles/common.css or https://cdn.example.com/styles/common.css.

Only a CDN resource with the Active status can distribute the content available to users. For more information, see Resource statuses.

For connections between clients and the CDN, you can configure:

• A client's redirect from HTTP to HTTPS or vice versa (see the instructions).
• Using certificates for HTTPS connections.
• HTTP headers in CDN server responses to clients (see instructions).
• CORS processing of cross-domain requests.
• HTTP methods that clients are allowed to use in their CDN requests (see the instructions).
• Sending of compressed content using the Content-Encoding: gzip HTTP header.

For a resource in Cloud CDN, you can specify additional settings provided by EdgeCenter, a CDN provider. For a complete description of its features, see the CDN provider's API documentation. To enable additional options, request access to them from technical support.
