Edge Security Acceleration:Origin protocol and port

Last Updated:Jun 17, 2026

By default, Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) points of presence (POPs) retrieve content from origin servers using the same protocol as the client. You can create origin rules to configure different protocols and ports for requests that match specific characteristics.

Create an origin protocol rule

  1. In the ESA console, select Websites, and in the Website column, click the target site.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Rules > Origin Rules.

  3. Click Create Rule and enter a Rule Name.

  4. Under If requests match..., set the match conditions for incoming requests. To learn more about creating a rule expression, see Composition of a rule expression.

  5. Click Configure in the Origin Protocol and Port section. Then, select an origin protocol and set the HTTP and HTTPS port numbers.
