Client IP Geographical Location
Overview
If you need to collect the client geo location information within the origin for responding with different content based on the client geo location and analyzing regional distribution of users, you can set a custom origin-pull request header that carries the client IP geo location information back to the business origin.
Note:
The client IP geo location header is currently displayed at the country/region level. Its value is a two-letter country/region code. For details, see ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
IPv6 address resolution is not currently supported.
For default headers carried in EdgeOne origin-pull requests, see Default HTTP Origin-Pull Request Headers. For modification of the origin-pull request header, see Modifying HTTP Origin-Pull Request Headers.
