Hi, I have a Flash based website with Connect. Recently I moved my SWF files up to Cloudfront. I have a base href in my index.html that points to my CF URL, so everything is loaded from there. Suddenly connect has stopped working, I click on the login button and nothing happens. I ran firebug, which says xd_receiver.htm is being lo...

If I have a domain that I wish to serve "naked" eg http://examp.le/, and efficiently with a CDN, what are my options? The issue is that the CDNs I looked at all want you to use a CNAME so that they can do geo ip lookup. CNAMES are not meant to be served at the same level as other records, and this apparently breaks some dns resolvers. Y...
I'm using jammit to package the js and css files for a rails project. I would like now to upload the files to Amazon S3 and use CloudFront for the delivery. What would be the best way to deal with new versions ? My ideal solution would be to have a capistrano recipe to deal with it. As anyone already done something like that? ...

Hi, I am using Amazon CloudFront to stream paid video content to my users and I am having problems getting the videos secured. Wowza does that by creating a secure token, but the use of wowza would be much more costly. Is there anyway that I can better protect my content by using Cloudfront or other CDN? Thanks! ...
My ideal setup would be to take a current clients site, upload a .htaccess with a regex inside, that would match the URI, and if it finds a certain file extension, it would use the same path, but with an altered domain. ie. Normal path: http://www.domain.com/something/images/someimage.jpeg http://www.domain.com/assets/js/jquery.js .h...

We have created a product that potentially will generate tons of requests for a data file that resides on our server. Currently we have a shared hosting server that runs a PHP script to query the DB and generate the data file for each user request. This is not efficient and has not been a problem so far but we want to move to a more scal...
We host our images on Amazon S3, and serve them through Amazon Cloudfront. We'd like to reduce our bandwidth expenses. We believe that we have quite a bit of bandwidth theft, and want to start using signed URLs to prevent this. However, we have to balance this against the fact that each time we send out a new signed url, it invalidate...
I have an S3 bucket setup as a streaming distribution with a CloudFront service attached to it. There are fairly sizable .flv files in there which I use to hook up JWPlayer using signed URL's. After about a month of hosting these videos in S3 (and they have been watched by web site visitors several times), I just logged on using CloudBe...

I have a flash player with an external javascript interface: reloadData() I'm calling that function via Javascript when editing information on the page - basically to keep data on the page and in the player in synch.

Hey guys, tl;dr - Is there a robust S3 ACL management tool, possibly for use with CloudFront? I'm working on a personal private content distribution (via CloudFront) but obviously the AWS Console is severely lacking in this regard. I know there are a handful of S3 clients out there, but none of them really do much for advanced ACL. T...

I am new to CouchDB/Cloudant and CDN (CloudFront). I am about to build an application using CouchDB as database. This web application will handle a lot of files. I know that CouchDB can store files in the database as attachments. But then I have heard about leveraging CDN to store and distribute the files all over the world. My quest...
