Behavior name: Origin Base Path
Prefix URLs sent to the origin with a base path.
For example, with an origin of example.comsetting
the value
to /images
sets the origin's base path 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
.
Notes:
- Changing the origin's base path also changes the cache key, which makes any existing cached data inaccessible. This causes a spike in traffic to your origin until the cache repopulates with fresh content.
- You can't override the base path with other behaviors. For example, if in the
rewrite_url
behavior you specifytargetPath
to/gifs/hello.gif
this gets appended to the base path:example.com/images/gifs/hello.gif
.
