Origin Host Header

The Origin Host Header feature for streaming content in the Medianova Cloud Panel allows you to specify a custom host domain in the Host header for all streaming requests made to the origin server. This ensures proper routing and validation, particularly in environments where domain-specific handling is required for media content.

Key Features

• Custom Host Domain: You can specify a custom domain to be included in the Host header for all streaming requests to the origin server. This ensures the origin server handles the request based on the correct domain for streaming media.

• Flexible Configuration: Supports any valid domain format, excluding the "http://" or "https://" prefix. This provides flexibility in defining the domain for streaming content requests, making it easy to align with your server's configuration.

• Enhanced Compatibility: Ideal for multi-tenant or shared hosting environments where domain-specific routing or validation is required for streaming content. This ensures seamless content delivery and routing based on the expected domain for streaming requests.
