X-CDN Header

Learn how the X-CDN Header adds CDN-specific information to origin requests in the Medianova Control Panel.

X-CDN Header adds a generated token to requests sent from the CDN to your origin. Your origin can use this value to distinguish CDN-proxied requests from requests that reach the origin directly.

You can configure X-CDN Header in the Medianova Control Panel or via the API.

Configure X-CDN Header

Open X-CDN Header

Open your CDN Resource and select Headers.

Locate the X-CDN Header section.

2

Enable X-CDN Header

Enable X-CDN Header.

3

Generate a Token

Click Generate next to Token.

The generated token is used in the X-CDN header added to requests sent from the CDN to your origin.

Configure your origin to validate the generated token if you want to use the X-CDN Header to verify that a request was forwarded through Medianova CDN.

How X-CDN Header Works

When X-CDN Header is enabled, the CDN adds the X-CDN header to requests forwarded to your origin.

Your origin can inspect the header and its token to identify requests forwarded through Medianova CDN.

The presence of the X-CDN header alone should not be treated as verification. Validate the header value against the configured token when using it for origin-side access control or request verification.
