hi
I have a wowza instance configured as a VOD http origin.
i would like to be able to fetch the requested files by the CDN on a other place via http
when they are not here in order to reencode them properly before they are available
on the wowza VOD http origin. is that doable somehow ?
Damien,

Hi Damien,
From the previous description I am not able to precisely understand what is the call flow you wish to implement.
Do you want to request the VOD files that are located on a different HTTP server (CDN) in case the requested files are not stored locally on your Wowza server instance?
In this case, you can use the [Media Cache functionality](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache) available with Wowza to retrieve content from a remote location, cache it locally, and deliver it through your VOD http origin application.
For implementing this scenario, you will need to use the “[MediaCacheLocalFirstRandomAccessReader](https://www.wowza.com/docs/media-cache-implementation-that-will-first-try-to-access-content-locally-before-getting-it-from-a-remote-source-mediacachelocalcontent%28MediaCacheLocalFirstRandomAccessReader%29)” module that will look for the requested content locally, and if it is not available it will try to fetch it using the Media Cache feature.
I hope it helps.
