enableAcceptEncodingBrotli property

bool? enableAcceptEncodingBrotli
final

A flag that can affect whether the Accept-Encoding HTTP header is included in the cache key and included in requests that CloudFront sends to the origin.

This field is related to the EnableAcceptEncodingGzip field. If one or both of these fields is true and the viewer request includes the Accept-Encoding header, then CloudFront does the following:

  • Normalizes the value of the viewer’s Accept-Encoding header
  • Includes the normalized header in the cache key
  • Includes the normalized header in the request to the origin, if a request is necessary
For more information, see Compression support in the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide.

If you set this value to true, and this cache behavior also has an origin request policy attached, do not include the Accept-Encoding header in the origin request policy. CloudFront always includes the Accept-Encoding header in origin requests when the value of this field is true, so including this header in an origin request policy has no effect.

If both of these fields are false, then CloudFront treats the Accept-Encoding header the same as any other HTTP header in the viewer request. By default, it’s not included in the cache key and it’s not included in origin requests. In this case, you can manually add Accept-Encoding to the headers whitelist like any other HTTP header.
