Origin Path Prepends
The Origin Path Prepends script config enables you to configure the CacheFly content distribution network (CDN) to automatically prepend a predefined text string to the start of the request path whenever a request matches a specific path. This adjustment is made dynamically and can be used to direct traffic more effectively or manage resources efficiently.
To add an Origin Path Prepends script config to the list of script configs created for your CacheFly services in general, or to associate an Origin Path Prepends script config with a specific CacheFly service, see Adding and Using Script Configs.
Using the Origin Path Prepends Script Config
If a user sees the path to an asset as, for example, /some/url/path/item.jpg and you define a prepend path of /prepend/path/, the asset will then be retrieved for the user as the asset located at /prepend/path/some/url/path/item.jpg.
