    How can one setup the Nirvanix account to be CDN origin

    I looking for a way to integrate nirvanix with my CDN service provider. Any thoughts on how can could be possible. 

    I want to use nirvanix as a pure content ingestion, retention and CDN origin point.


    Any info is greatly appreciated. 

     

    I am using panther CDN service right now.

     Most CDN's offer the ability to pull from an origin server as an http URL.  The only specific thing you need to do for our side is to define a Download link to the file you want to serve.  The best way to generate a link for this purpose is either a download link from GetOptimalURLs or use CreateHostedItem to generate a public folder / file.

    Let me know if this helps,

     Thanks for the info. I did make a shared folder called trans. And everything under that folder is easy downloaded.

     Now i demoed your nput application to some of my clients. They liked the way it functioned. Could you please tell me whats the best way to mass download data from nirvanix.

     Good to hear nput is doing well.  I think the opposite application should be fairly trivial to implement using a listfolder call and cURL to download the files returned.  Essentially it would work in the opposite direction as the nput reading the inputs based on a grep of the results of the listfolder call.  After that you would just need to recurse through the entire results downloading each link using the same session token.

    While I do not have time to implement this application right now I will add it to the calendar to do later.
