Support subfolder as addition to pull hostname

This will allow
https://cdnname.whatever.extention/somefolder/
next to what is possbile right now:
https://cdnname.whatever.extention/

to facilitate for shared CDN usage. where "somefolder" would be currentdomain.extension

There's no Origin Pull CDN that supports this to my knowledge? Can you point me to one that does support this? 😊🙏

I used this module many years ago and it's superb. Recently I've used remote_stream_wrapper to achieve a similar result. But that module is now not suitable. Off the bat we have an issue with our setup. I had a good dig on the issue queue and found this, it's similar to our case.

www.website.com/sites/website.com/files/images/photo.jpg
cdn.website.com/sites/website.com/files/images/photo.jpg

The long path Drupal creates is the issue. We have an existing CDN service with quite a history on google, so we don't want to change our paths. remote_stream_wrapper would be able to handle this because of course you just type in the value manually on every field. But this time we are looking at hundreds of fields so CDN module is the winner.

Can the module add a setting to ignore /sites/website.com/files/ so the output becomes?

cdn.website.com/images/photo.jpg

kinda the reverse of the original post, but the same ballpark.

@aesuk Which Origin Pull CDN are you using that you are having your URLs rewritten like that by the CDN?

Can the module add a setting to ignore /sites/website.com/files/ so the output becomes?

Sorry, but no: I don't want to complicate this module for a <0.1% edge case. The >5,000 sites currently using this don't need this setting, so I won't add it.

It's also the wrong layer of abstraction anyway.

There's a much simpler solution! 😄

1. Open settings.php
2. Add
   

   $settings['file_public_base_url'] = 'http://cdn.website.com';
   

3. Done!

oh I didn't know that setting existed, so that did not occur to me. Thank you very very much.

You're very welcome! 😊
