Configure HTTP and HTTPS Ports

To configure your application’s origin and delivery ports, follow these steps:

1. Access Azion Console.
2. Check the solutions for each use case below.

Default origin port to default application port

If you want your content to be drawn from a default port and served in a default application port, configure your application as follows:

1. Access Azion Console > Connectors.
2. Select the edge connector you want to configure.
3. Fill in the required fields.
4. In Transport Protocol Policy select Preserve.
5. In Address, type the hostname of your origin. Example: yourorigin.com.
6. Click the Save button.

Now to configure your delivery settings, follow these steps:

1. Access Azion Console > Workloads.
2. Select the desired Workload.
3. In the Protocol Settings section, select one of the default HTTP or HTTPS ports. Example: 80.

• If you determine your application is delivered via HTTP only, you’ll only be able to select port 80. Enabling both HTTP and HTTPS will enable the HTTPS port 443.

4. Click the Save button.

With this option enabled, access to your application through default ports will be through the default ports of your origin.

Modified default origin port to default application port

You can modify the default port your application’s origin by enforcing protocols. For example, you can determine that your application will be delivered in HTTPS but the communication with origin servers should be made exclusively in HTTP. To do so, configure your application as follows:

1. Access Azion Console > Connectors.
2. In Connectors, select an existing Connector or add a new one.
3. Fill in the required fields.
4. In Transport Protocol Policy select Force HTTP if you want the edge to access your content explicitly through HTTP.
5. Click the Save button.
6. Access Azion Console > Workloads.
7. Select the desired Workload.
8. In the Protocol Settings section, select one of the default HTTP and HTTPS ports. Example: 80 and 443.
9. Click the Save button.

Custom origin port to default application port

You can use the host:port notation to specify the port from which your content will be retrieved and deliver it through a default application port. In this case, your content will be retrieved from a custom port of your origin and delivered through the default port you selected. To do so:

1. Access Azion Console > Connectors.
2. In Connectors, select an existing Connector or add a new one.
3. Fill in the required fields.
4. In Transport Protocol Policy select Preserve.
5. In Address, type the hostname of your origin and in HTTP/HTTPS PORT, add the custom port.
6. Access Azion Console > Workloads.
7. Select the desired Workload.
8. In the Protocol Settings section, select one of the default HTTP or HTTPS ports. Example: 443.
9. Click the Save button.

Default origin port to custom application port

To deliver your content from a default origin port to a custom application port: To deliver your content from a default origin port to a custom application port, follow these steps:

1. Access Azion Console > Connectors.
2. In Connectors, select an existing Connector or add a new one.
3. Fill in the required fields.
4. In Transport Protocol Policy select Preserve.
5. In Address, type the hostname of your origin. Example: yourorigin.com.
6. Click the Save button.
7. Access Azion Console > Workloads.
8. Select the desired Workload.
9. In the Protocol Settings section, select one of the custom HTTP or HTTPS ports. Example: 9443.
10. Click the Save button.

Custom origin port to custom application port

If you want requests to be directed to an origin only using custom ports, you must specify that requests to your application made from the custom port are directed to the correct port. To do so:

1. On Workloads, under HTTP Ports, check which custom ports have been selected.
2. Access Azion Console > Connectors.
3. Click the + Connectors button.
4. Give your Connector an easy-to-remember name. Example: myconnetor:8080.
5. Fill in the required fields.
6. In Transport Protocol Policy select Preserve.
7. In Address, type the hostname of your origin and in HTTP/HTTPS PORT, add the custom port.
8. Fill in the remaining fields with the desired values.
9. Click the Save button.

Now you need to configure your application so that when requests are received in custom ports, they’re redirected to the correct origin port:

1. Go to the Rules Engine tab of the application.
2. Click the + Rule button.
3. Give your rule an easy-to-remember name. Example: Set Origin :8080.
4. Select Request Phase.
5. Under the section Criteria, select the variable ${server_port}.
6. For a comparison operator, select is equal to.
7. As an argument, add the desired port. Example: 8080.
8. In the Behaviors section, select the behavior Set Connector.
9. Select the Connector created in the previous instructions.
10. Click the Save button.

To configure your application’s origin and delivery ports:

1. Access Azion Console > Applications.
2. Select the application you want to configure.
3. Check the solutions for each use case below.

Default origin port to default application port

If you want your content to be drawn from a default port and served in a default application port, configure your application as follows:
