User Variable

This capability requires Rules Engine - Advanced Rules which must be purchased separately. Contact your CDN account manager to activate it.

Category: Specialty

Purpose: Assigns a value to a user-defined variable that is passed to your bespoke traffic processing solution.

Key information:

This feature is only applicable when:
- Custom logic that is specific to your traffic controls how requests will be processed.
  
  Our CDN service supports the capability to define customized traffic processing logic. This solution addresses specialized customer needs that cannot be implemented via Rules Engine. If your CDN traffic requires a bespoke solution, then please contact our Solutions Engineer team.
- This bespoke solution expects a variable.
  
  Upon implementing a bespoke solution, a member of our Solutions Engineer team will provide information about a variable's purpose and the information that should be passed to it.
  
  Variables defined by this feature will be ignored when either a bespoke solution has not been defined for your CDN account or the specified variable has not been defined within your solution.
HTTP variables may not be used when defining a variable.
Valid characters for the variable name are: alphanumeric, dashes, underscores, and periods.
