Assume that a client requests resources that are not cached on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) node. The node retrieves these resources from the origin server based on the origin protocol policy and caches these resources on the node. If the client sends an HTTP request to retrieve resources that are not cached on a CDN node, the node retrieves the requested resources from the origin server over HTTP. If the client sends an HTTPS request, the CDN node also retrieves the requested resources from the origin server over HTTPS.

Note The origin must support port 80 and port 443. Otherwise, the back-to-origin process may fail.
