Identifying the Provider

When using Flumotion Smart Multi CDN, you may need to identify which CDN provider is currently serving your traffic.

You can determine this by inspecting the x-ioriver response header. Traffic served through Flumotion Smart Multi CDN includes the x-ioriver header, which indicates the CDN provider handling the request.

If you have configured Traffic Policies for specific geolocations, you may want to send HTTP requests from those locations. You can use a VPN to perform these tests.

Identifying the Provider Using curl #

You can use the curl command to send an HTTP request to your service and inspect the x-ioriver header to determine which CDN provider handled the request.

For example, the following curl command can be used to inspect the response:

curl -v https://www.example.com

A response served by Fastly will include:

< x-ioriver: Fastly

Identifying the Provider in the Browser #

You can also identify the CDN provider serving an HTTP request using your browser.

If you are using Google Chrome, follow these steps:

1. Open Chrome and launch Developer Tools (F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I).
2. Navigate to the Network tab.
3. In the browser, open the URL you want to test.
4. In the Network tab, locate the requests made by the browser:

• Find the request sent to your domain.
• Select the request and locate the Response Headers section.
• Look for the x-ioriver header. Its value indicates which CDN provider served the request.
