Redirect Handle From Origin

Learn how Redirect Handle From Origin manages origin-side redirects to ensure seamless and uninterrupted live streaming delivery.

The Redirect Handle From Origin feature for Live Stream CDN Resources operates the same way as in Static Content Delivery.

It defines how the CDN processes HTTP 3xx redirect responses returned by the origin during live streaming workflows. This includes redirects triggered by load balancing, geo-based routing, failover mechanisms, or media endpoint changes. Proper redirect handling ensures continuous playback and minimizes latency or buffering interruptions during live streams.

Configuration options, supported redirect status codes, and header handling behavior are identical to Static CDN Resources.

Use cases

• Handling origin-side redirects during live stream failover or load balancing

• Routing requests to geographically optimized media endpoints

• Preserving required request headers to maintain uninterrupted playback

Notes

• Redirect handling is applied during origin fetch operations.

• Incorrect redirect or header configuration may impact stream continuity.

• This feature does not change viewer-facing URLs; it controls origin-side redirect behavior only.
