Office 365 CDN Advantages?
Hi VesaJuvonen
Also we have created a custom control block to copy item url in document libraries. This will redirect the user to a aspx page hosted in CDN with some query strings and the javascript code written inside the aspx page will process the query string and update the DOM elements at run time. I am not sure this will work in Office 365 CDN.
MicrosoftHi Joseph,
there are no global assets which are required outside of SharePoint Online. If you keep your assets in normal SharePoint libraries, they are secured and require authentication. CDN capability does not change this in anyway, unless tenant administrator enables explicitly public CDN in that particular library, like explained in the blog post.
"This will redirect the user to a aspx page hosted in CDN" - CDN is just a tool to publish a web site closer to the user. You will still need to host the aspx file somewhere, like in Azure, where it will be processed using server side code, if it contains that. Office 365 CDN is for static assets, like mentioned within the blog post. You can use that to copy static assets to CDN, so that they are served faster for the end users - but dynamic files requiring server side execution (like aspx) are not supported.
Hi VesaJuvonen
Thank you for the suggestions.
We will explore the same and come back to you if we have any questions.
