Amazon Cloudfront removes Referer header


I am using Amazon CloudFront to deliver some HDS files. I have an origin server which check the HTTP HEADER REFERER and in case is no allowed it block it.

The problem is that cloud front is removing the referer header, so it is not forwarded to the origin.

Is it possible to tell Amazon not to do it?

  • In today's newsletter amazon announced that it is now possible to forward request headers with cloudfront. See: http://aws.amazon.com/de/about-aws/whats-new/2014/06/26/amazon-cloudfront-device-detection-geo-targeting-host-header-cors/
