You can use the forcible redirect feature to redirect the original requests from a client to edge nodes as HTTP or HTTPS requests. This topic describes how to configure the forcible redirect feature.
Prerequisites
An HTTPS certificate is configured before you configure the forcible redirect feature. For more information, see Enable HTTPS secure acceleration.
Feature description
If you have enabled HTTP secure acceleration for domain names for CDN, you can forcibly redirect the original requests from users by customizing the redirect type.
Assume that you set the Redirection parameter to HTTP -> HTTPS. When a client initiates an HTTP request, the server returns a 301 response to redirect the request to the HTTPS version of the web page. The following figure shows an example.
