Hi!

We use a Live HTTP Origin application and Limlight CDN to provide Livestreams for more than 50.000 Concurrent Viewers

Without URL-Parameters (e.g. [http://185.85.29.17/orf2/q4a.sdp/manifest.f4m](http://185.85.29.17/orf2/q4a.sdp/manifest.f4m)) the manifest media tag Looks like this

[HTML][/HTML]

But we need some Parameters (e.g. [http://185.85.29.17/orf2/q4a.sdp/manifest.f4m?a=2](http://185.85.29.17/orf2/q4a.sdp/manifest.f4m?a=2))

then the media tag looks like this

[HTML][/HTML]

The Parameters are encoded within the URL. These calls which treated like unique requests and have to be fetched from the origin

Can I configure the application to ignore the Parameters?

Regards Robert
