Yes, you can preheat your CDN with a custom request header. This allows you to simulate real-world traffic conditions by sending requests with specific headers that your actual users might send. This can be particularly useful for ensuring that your content is cached correctly and is ready for peak traffic times.
For example, if your application uses a custom request header for authentication or tracking, you can include this header in your preheating requests to ensure that the CDN caches the content appropriately.
In the context of cloud services, platforms like Tencent Cloud offer CDN services that support custom request headers for preheating. This enables you to tailor your preheating process to match the specific needs of your application, ensuring optimal performance and user experience.
