Updating Linked Content

Applies To:

HTTP LargeThis platform has been optimized to cache and deliver static content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ISO, multimedia, and software downloads, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS.

HTTP SmallLegacy. If you are currently serving traffic over this platform, then you may continue to do so. However, we recommend that you serve your traffic over our more robust HTTP Large platform.

ADNThe Application Delivery Network platform has been optimized to deliver dynamic content (e.g., login credentials, account information, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS. Typically, user-specific and database-driven content are served over this platform.

TBAThe Token-Based Authentication feature enforces authentication prior to content delivery. Authentication takes place via an encoded token value that must be included in the request URL. This token value is then decrypted on an edge server. The requested content will only be delivered when the user meets the requirement(s) defined in the token.

Providing access to content is quite simple. It is just a matter of appending a question mark and an appropriate token value to the name of the asset being requested. Below you will find examples for each platform.

HTTP Large Example

The sample code excerpt provided below demonstrates how to insert a token into a CDN and an edge CNAME URL on the HTTP Large platform.

CDN URL:

The following sample CDN URL contains a custom query string parameter called "user." Custom query string parameters can be appended to the URL through the use of an ampersand.

Edge CNAME URL:

HTTP Small Example

The sample code excerpt provided below demonstrates how to insert a token into a CDN and an edge CNAME URL on the HTTP Small platform.

CDN URL:

The following sample CDN URL contains a custom query string parameter called "user." Custom query string parameters can be appended to the URL through the use of an ampersand.

Edge CNAME URL:

ADN Example

Providing access to content is quite simple. It is just a matter of appending a question mark and an appropriate token value to the name of the asset being requested. The sample code excerpt provided below demonstrates how to insert a token into a CDN and an edge CNAME URL on the ADN platform. Notice how a query string parameter called "user" is appended to the URL through the use of an ampersand.
