CDN:400 error when accessing CDN

Last Updated:Nov 15, 2025

A 400 error code returned when accessing CDN usually indicates an issue with the request. This topic describes common issues and their solutions.

Request syntax error

Common issues:

  • CDN does not support PATCH requests. Sending a PATCH request to CDN returns a 400 error code.

  • The URL is formatted incorrectly. For example, required parameters may be missing or the path may be misspelled.

  • The request header is incomplete or incorrectly formatted.

Solutions:

  • Use ESA: If you must use PATCH requests, you can use Edge Security Acceleration (ESA). ESA supports both resource acceleration and PATCH requests.

  • Check the URL: Make sure the URL is correctly formatted, including the protocol (http/https), domain name, path, and query parameters.

  • Validate the request header: Make sure all required request headers are included and correctly formatted, such as Content-Type and Authorization.

Invalid parameters

Common issues:

  • A query parameter has an invalid value, such as an incorrect date format or a non-existent ID.

  • A parameter value is outside the allowed range.

Solutions:

  • Validate parameter values: Make sure all parameter values meet the requirements in the API documentation. For example, dates must be in ISO 8601 format, and numbers must be within the specified range.

  • Use default values: If some parameters are optional, you can use appropriate default values.

Missing required parameters

Common issues:

  • A required query parameter or request body field is missing.

Solutions:

  • Check the API documentation: Refer to the API documentation to make sure all required parameters are provided.

  • Use debugging tools: You can use tools such as Postman or cURL to manually test the request and make sure all parameters are set correctly.

Size limits

Common issues:

  • The request body is too large and exceeds the limits of CDN or the origin server.

  • A single uploaded file is too large.

Solutions:

  • Reduce the request body: You can optimize the request data to remove unnecessary information.

  • Use chunked uploads: For large files, you can use the chunked upload method.
