Azure CDN - URL rewrite rule to remove part of the url

Question

Hello,

I looked at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/138148/front-door-remove-part-of-a-url-path but it didn't specify how to create the rule.

I created an Azure Content Delivery Network (Pricing Tier Microsoft CDN classic).

I want to rewrite the URL if it contains a string, i.e. test.

So from

https://mycdn.azureedge.net/test/container1/myfile.txt

I want the URL to be rewritten as:

https://mycdn.azureedge.net/container1/myfile.txt

So it will find the file.

I have tried these 3 rules so far, no luck:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a million

Hi Cesar Albusac Jorge

Greetings!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

It appears you are working on creating a URL rewrite rule in Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) to eliminate a specific string from the URL path.

You can refer the below stepsStep1: Configure the URL rewrite rule

1. Select "URL path" as the condition type.
2. Enter the following condition:
   • Operator: "Contains"
   • Value: "/test/"
   • Case transform: No transform

Step2: Select "URL rewrite" as the action type.

1. Enter the following action:
   • Source Pattern: "/test/*"
   • Destination: "/*"

Preserve unmatched path: Yes

NOTE: This rule checks if the URL path contains /test/ and then rewrites the path by removing /test/ while preserving the rest of the path.

If you are still encountering issues, kindly provide additional details regarding the error messages in terms of Screenshot manner or the behavior you are experiencing.
