CORS Header

Streaming content, such as video or audio files, often requires special handling to allow cross-origin access, as these resources are typically large and are delivered over extended periods. For streaming resources, ensuring smooth access and playback across different domains is key.

Medianova CDN supports CORS for streaming content delivery, ensuring that video and audio files can be accessed across multiple origins without issues. This is especially important for live streams or video-on-demand services that are consumed by users from various domains. You can manage CORS for streaming resources by following these steps:

1. You can access the Medianova cloud panel by logging in with your username and password at http://cloud.medianova.com .

2. You can reach CORS Header setting by clicking on the CDN Resource you would like to edit by following the CDN > CDN Resources path on the left side of the panel screen and navigating to Headers tab.

3. After turning on the status of the CORS Header feature, you can add the domains you want to allow for CORS and click on the Add CORS Header button to save changes. Example: http://www.domain.com .

1. The domains you add will be listed as shown below.‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏

1. If the CORS Header feature is disabled, content cannot be received from different sources with different domain names. When content is requested from different sources, the content will not be served and will appear as a CORS error on the Development Tools console.

2. Activating CORS Header allows content to be received from different sources over additional domains. It is possible to define more than one additional domain. You can delete any previously defined additional domain name, as well. If no value is entered in the domain name field while enabling CORS header, the default setting is being set to *, which means requests from all sites and domains will be allowed. This operation is not recommended as it may create security vulnerabilities.

3. It may take a few minutes for the feature to be active, after adding domains and submitting the changes by clicking on the button.
