# Origin Settings

Configure how Medianova CDN connects to your origin server, forwards requests, and handles origin responses.

Origin Settings control how CDN Resources communicate with origin servers. These settings can be used to manage origin connections, rewrite request URLs, configure Server Name Indication (SNI), handle HTTP redirects, define response timeouts, and control Gzip compression from the origin.

Origin configuration is managed per CDN Resource in the [Medianova Control Panel](https://cloud.medianova.com/).

#### Origin Configuration

The **Origin Settings** section includes settings for controlling different aspects of CDN-to-origin communication, including:

* [**Advanced Origin Settings**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/advanced-origin-settings.md) – Configure advanced connection and request-handling options for the origin server.
* [**Rewrite Origin URLs**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/rewrite-origin-urls.md) – Define how request URLs are rewritten before forwarding requests to the origin.
* [**Origin SNI Request**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/origin-sni-request.md) – Configure Server Name Indication (SNI) for HTTPS connections to the origin server.
* [**Redirect Handle From Origin**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/redirect-handle-from-origin.md) – Control how the CDN handles HTTP redirect responses returned by the origin.
* [**Origin Response Timeout**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/origin-response-timeout.md) – Define how long the CDN waits for a response from the origin server.
* [**Enable Gzip from Origin**](/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings/enable-gzip-from-origin.md) – Configure how the CDN handles Gzip-compressed responses from the origin.

Select the relevant origin setting in the documentation for its configuration options and behavior.

{% hint style="info" %}
Origin settings can affect request routing, HTTPS connectivity, response handling, and origin availability. Configure each setting according to your origin infrastructure and application requirements.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://clients.medianova.com/products/performance-cdn/static-content-delivery/advanced-configuration/origin-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
