Follow Redirect

By default, origin responses are passed "as is" to clients, including 301/302 redirects that indicate to clients that they must connect to another site to access a desired object.

When the Follow Redirect option is enabled, the CacheFly server that is serving clients over the net (the ingress server) will attempt to follow the redirect and fetch the object for the client.

You can enable the Follow Redirect option for individual CacheFly services. See more on creating and managing a service.

Enabling Follow Redirect

To enable Follow Redirect for a specific service, first navigate to the OPTIONS for that service (Configuration > Services > [SERVICE NAME] > OPTIONS in the left-hand menu).

Click on OPTIONS to expand the menu, then click on Follow Redirect, or scroll down until you reach the Follow Redirect section.

If the button/toggle to the right of the mention Follow Redirect displays Disabled, then you can enable it as follows:

  • Click on the button/toggle labeled Disabled

  • A popup window is displayed asking you to confirm your choice

  • When you click on the red button Yes, the button/toggle will display Enabled and will also turn from gray to blue. A confirmatory message is also displayed briefly at the top right of the screen.
