[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Trouble with CDN

    I use Akamai CDN to host images / resource files on my site via the mirror method. I can’t get my setup working with W3 Total Cache, though.

    Basically, all my images are called through

    cdn.domain.net

    then Akamai pulls them from static.domain.net

    None of the URLs are rewritten when set to static.domain.net. the issue I presume is that both of these domains differ from that of the domain my WordPress install resides on (a .com).

    Will a future release add support for such a configuration?

    There’s not enough information to answer your question. W3TC in mirror mode doesn’t care how your objects get to the CDN, it matters that the configuration you have set up actually answers requests following when the hostname is replaced with the value you set. So if you can open the objects at the domain you specified in your browser and specify that setting in your “replace hostname with” field, all will be fine.

    fredericktownes: thanks for the reply. The issue is that it is not replacing my site’s hostname correctly after activating CDN support.

    It *does* modify links but it doesn’t rewrite the entire URL, it only adds the CDN URL as a prefix, like so: http://cdn.domain.net/http://static.domain.net/image/path

    which of course breaks requests.

    I’m wondering if it’s not working correctly since my images reside on a domain different from that of the WP installation.

    This is not a known bug, can you submit a bug submission report from the support tab of the plugin so I can see your settings?
