By default, a request for CDN content will be directed to the POP closest to the client. This behavior ensures that the optimal path is used to deliver content to your users. However, your organization may require that you validate that one or more specific POPs can deliver your content. This can be accomplished by modifying the hostname used to request your content as indicated below.
| Domain | Example |
|---|---|
|
POP1.can.transactcdn.com |
nyz1.can.transactcdn.com |
The term POP should be replaced by the three-letter abbreviation for the POP to which the request will be directed. View a list of our POPs.
The above hostnames should not be used for production traffic. This type of setup will adversely impact overall web page load times.
The following sample requests will return header data upon requesting content from our edge servers in New York.
