Serving files from *.objects.cdn.dream.io over https

    I am setting this up for my site and notice that the media files are being served from objects.us-west-1.dream.io instead of from objects.cdn.dream.io. My site is using https, and all options are checked in the DreamSpeed plugin settings.

    Is there a specific reason for this? I seem to understand from earlier threads that there was something relating to https not working. Is it so that *.objects.cdn.dream.io doesn’t work over https? It seems to for me, and I can’t see why there would be something wrong with the cert (unless it has something to do with wildcard certs, which would suck).

    Anyway, I’d really prefer to have the images loaded from the cdn instead of from DreamObjects, as otherwise there isn’t much performance increase for me. Is there a way to do this?

    (unless it has something to do with wildcard certs, which would suck).

    And you nailed it on the head. In THEORY it should work, but in reality it doesn’t work for everyone. In fact, it worked for the minority of users. I’m working on a way to make it work, or at least allow people who are clever enough to check and validate those things, to override.

    That said, you are getting the performance bennies of not having your own server load the images.

    Ah, that explains it perfectly then. I guess the only recourse is to pester DreamHost to not use wildcard certs on DreamSpeed? The urls for DreamObjects already do this (objects.us-west-1.drea.io/bucket), and it would be nice if they could do that with the CDN as well (objects.cdn.dream.io/bucket), but that’s not really your responsibility I guess. I’ll just have to live with it.

    Thanks for clearing it up though!

    The DreamObjects team is aware and has been yelling at our cohorts about this for … a while 🙁

    I’ll point them here, though, to give them more fuel for the fire.
