With this behavior enabled, you can specify a directory path to be appended to requests for your origin.

🚧

If you change the origin’s base path, you’ll affect an existing cache key. Until the cache is resolved to sync with the new path, you may see a traffic spike at your origin server.

How it works

Let's assume that your origin is example.com. If you set the Origin Base Path behavior to /images/, your base path is updated to example.com/images/. Any request for a my_pics/home.jpg file resolves on the origin server to example.com/images/my_pics/home.jpg. The property configuration routes it to example.com/images/my_pics/home.jpg.

📘

You can't override the base path with other behaviors. For example, if in the Modify Outgoing Request Path behavior you set the Replace the entire path field to /gifs/hello.gif, this gets appended to the base path: example.com/images/gifs/hello.gif.
