Supported Matching Types

Supported matching types are listed in the following tables.
Note
1. URL Path and URL Full support wildcard match. If the URL Path is /foo/*/bar, both /foo/example/barand /foo/demo/bar are valid values.

A specified value exists in the request (HTTP header name or query parameter name).
Not exist
A specified value does not exist in the request (HTTP header name or query parameter name).
Regular expression matching

Supported Actions

Actions refer to a series of feature configurations performed after the requests hit the conditions. The supported actions and matching types are listed in the following tables.

Cache configuration

By configuring the cache TTL, you can optimize node cache to improve resource loading and update resources in a timely manner.
HOST

By adjusting the cache period of resources in browsers, you can optimize the browser cache and increase the loading speed of the requested resources.
HOST
URL FULL
URL Path
File name
File extension
Query string
Client geo location
Client IP
A cache key can be customized to suit your needs by setting the query string, HTTP header and URL case, so that requested resources can be loaded faster.
HOST
URL FULL
URL Path
File name
File extension
Query string
HTTP Request Header
Client geo location
Client IP
You can specify a TTL period for origin response status codes, allowing the node to directly respond with non-2XX codes.
HOST
URL FULL
URL Path
File name
File extension
Query string
Cached resources are validated via origin-pull before expiration, so that your site can respond to requests more rapidly.
HOST
URL FULL
URL Path
File name
File extension
After offline caching is enabled, when your origin fails, and resources cannot be pulled through origin-pull normally, resources cached on nodes (even expired resources) can be used until the origin recovers.

Network optimization

Action
Description
Supported Matching Types
HTTP/2 (HTTP 2.0) requests are supported to accelerate sites and improve the web performance.
HOST
HTTP/3 (QUIC) requests are supported. HTTP/3 (QUIC) is used to accelerate site requests and improve data transfer efficiency and security.
HOST
EdgeOne supports the WebSocket protocol that allows the server to proactively send data to the client.
HOST
The maximum upload size is the maximum data volume that can be uploaded in a single client request. You can restrict it to improve the data transfer efficiency and optimize the network transfer.
HOST
URL FULL
URL Path
File name
File extension
Query string
HTTP Request Header
Smart Compression can automatically compress the resources to Gzip/Brotli files to reduce the files size and shorten the resource loading time.
HOST
Smart acceleration refers to smart dynamic routing acceleration. After this feature is enabled, it will detect the node network latency in real time and use the smart algorithm to select the optimal transfer path, so as to handle both static and dynamic client requests more quickly, stably, and securely. Smart dynamic routing minimizes problems such as high network latency, connection errors, and request failures.
HOST
Request origin-pull over the HTTP/2 protocol is supported.
HOST
You can reasonably set the origin-pull request timeout based on the network link conditions and the data processing capability of the origin server to ensure normal origin-pull as requested. The origin-pull timeout is defined as follows. If there is no data response from the origin server after a node initiates an origin-pull request, no matter how long the duration is, the node considers it a timeout and actively disconnects from the origin server.
HOST

HTTPS optimization

Action
Description
Supported Matching Types
You can use 301 or 302 redirect to redirect HTTP client requests to HTTPS requests and send them to EdgeOne.
HOST
Force clients such as browsers to establish connections to edge nodes over HTTPS for global website encryption.
HOST
Configure the protocol version and Cipher suite that are allowed to use when the client shakes hands with the edge server TLS as needed.
HOST
Pre-cached OCSP responses are sent at the time of TLS handshake to improve the efficiency.
HOST
You can specify the protocol that EdgeOne uses in the origin-pull request.
