HTTP Header Linkage Parameter Configuration for Endpoint-Cloud Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for configuring endpoint-cloud linkage parameters face limitations, including URL length restrictions, sequential arrangement of parameters which breaks matching relationships, and support only for one-way linkage, making it difficult to achieve efficient and expandable endpoint-cloud communication.
Innovation Solution
The method involves obtaining a target linkage parameter and writing it into the header information of an HTTP request to create a target HTTP request, which is then transmitted to a target Content Distribution Network (CDN) to generate an execution policy, allowing for two-way linkage and flexible parameter configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If linkage parameters are configured in URL query parameters, then one-way linkage can be achieved, but URL length restrictions limit the number of parameters and two-way linkage cannot be supported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves linkage parameters from the URL query dimension to the HTTP request header dimension. HTTP headers do not have the same length restrictions as URLs, allowing multiple linkage parameters to be configured without length constraints. This dimensional shift enables both first linkage parameters (client to CDN) and second linkage parameters (CDN to client) to coexist in the same request.
2Ease of operation
If linkage parameters are arranged sequentially in URL, then transmission is simple, but matching relationships between parameters are broken
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments linkage parameters into distinct header fields with clear naming conventions (e.g., first linkage parameters, second linkage parameters). Each parameter type can be identified and processed independently, maintaining their semantic relationships while allowing flexible arrangement in the header structure without sequential constraints.
3Reliability
If traditional endpoint-cloud linkage is implemented, then basic communication is established, but efficient and expandable communication cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal linkage parameter configuration mechanism that can handle multiple types of parameters (first linkage parameters from client, second linkage parameters from CDN) through a single HTTP header-based approach. This multi-functional system supports various endpoint-cloud communication scenarios and can be extended for future needs without requiring fundamental changes to the communication protocol.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computers, and discloses a method, apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium for linkage parameter configuration. The method provided by the present disclosure includes: obtaining a target linkage parameter, wherein the target linkage parameter includes a first linkage parameter that a local device expects a target content distribution network to execute and/or a second linkage parameter that the target content distribution network expects the local device to execute; writing the target linkage parameter into header information of a hypertext transfer protocol request to obtain a target hypertext transfer protocol request; and transmitting the target hypertext transfer protocol request to the target content distribution network to cause the target content distribution network to generate a first execution policy based on the target linkage parameter.
