You may wish to exclude URLs from inspection by CrowdHandler when using our DNS implementation. These might be URLs that are unnecessary to check -- such as common assets (we exclude these by default). There are other URLs you may wish to exclude when you do not want calls to URLs to be cached under any circumstances. For example:
1. External API Feed calls
2. Payment provider call-backs
To exclude such URLs go to
Domains > DNS > Settings
and locate the URL Exclusion List:
Each exclusion rule goes on a separate line.
CrowdHandler users Amazon's CloudFront service. It uses it's own wildcard pattern matching format, which is detailed here:
You can use the following wildcard characters in your path pattern:
*
matches 0 or more characters.?
matches exactly 1 character.
The following examples show how the wildcard characters work:
Path pattern | Files that match the path pattern |
---|---|
| All .jpg files |
| All .jpg files in the |
|
|
| All .jpg files for which the file name begins with |
| All files for which the file name extension begins with |
The maximum length of a path pattern is 255 characters. The value can contain any of the following characters:
A-Z, a-z
Path patterns are case-sensitive, so the path pattern
*.jpg
doesn't apply to the fileLOGO.JPG
.0-9
_ - . * $ / ~ " ' @ : +
&, passed and returned as
