You can now enter or change configuration information.

For WEB and Object Storage:

Origin Hostname - This is the domain where CacheFly will pull files to cache.
Prepend Path - Allows you to specify the root directory on your origin based on the request path.
TTL - The TTL (time to live) is a value in seconds at the end of which CacheFly checks your origin to see if an object has changed. You can override this setting by setting Cache-Control headers on your origin. If no Cache-Control headers are present, the TTL setting will be used instead.
Schema - This setting tells the CacheFly caching engine what protocol to use on reverse proxy requests back to your origin.
Cache by Query Param(eter) - This setting tells the CacheFly caching engine whether to ignore query strings or use them as part of the caching key. If your origin uses query strings as a versioning tool, or to dynamically modify your static content, you may want to enable this setting.
Always serve uploaded robots.txt - Ensures that the robots.txt file uploaded to CacheFly FTP storage is the one that is served from the edge (for example, for serving a different robots.txt for your content on the CacheFly content distribution network than the one served from your origin.

For Object Storage:

Access Key - is a unique identifier associated with an object storage account, used to authenticate requests made to object storage service.
Secret Key - is a confidential credential used to authenticate access to an object storage service. It is paired with an Access key and is used in conjunction with it to securely sign requests and ensure the integrity and security of interactions with the object storage system.
Region - the region code of the location where your object storage resides It is a best practice to choose a region that is geographically close to users.
