Question: can I store my homepage in a CDN like Amazon's new CDN??
Can I store my static html homepage in a CDN like Amazon's new CDN? How would that work? I know how it works with images and such, but not sure how it would work with html?
- barredo 18y agoMaybe with and .htaccess file you can do this RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^index.htm$ http://amazoncdnurl.com/xyz.html [L] Edit: No, it doesn't work. It redirects you to the given URL. Sorry
- timf 18y agoYou can serve html pages there like any other file. It seems you could use a CNAME configuration to do top level hosting. But you'd have to get someone to link to "index.html" explicitly since CloudFront will not do this for you. So "http://example.com/index.html http://example.com/index.html" is definitely do-able but you need to worry about "http://example.com http://example.com" and "http://example.com/ http://example.com/" Objects in S3/CloudFront can have a trailing "/" as part of the name, so maybe you could get around that issue somehow. -- More ugly, but you could alternatively put everything on a subdomain and do a permanent redirect to CloudFront. example.com is your webserver, redirects all traffic to the exactly right path at "x.example.com/[....]" where "x.example.com" has CNAME pointer to cloudfront (relative links from those files will resolve OK directly to cloudfront URLs)
