Surely it can be done? Usually CDNs let you use query strings for versioning.

When it comes to click IDs and such you don't want them to be honoured (i.e. CDN ignores for caching) but surely they don't get dropped from the URL, meaning you can still use them.

Can you explain a little about what you were trying to do here and what ended up happening?

I wanted the Voluum paramater data to be passed onto the LP for calling out their device model. CDN's by default strip the query strings from the LP so you have to enable it, if they support that.

I asked rackspace support and they said it can't be done. I went back to Amazon Cloudfront since they have the option to pass query strings.

Odd. They shouldn't strip query strings - they should ignore or honour them, not provide a different URL response to redirect to (just silly).

I used Rackspace for landers in the past with Voluum and had no troubles, I don't recall the query strings not being there.

Here's a Rackspace Cloud Files container I just created with a sample page - seems to work fine for me in the sense that I can pull query string data out with JS and change it without restriction - http://557828d6d636da9236b4-eed1173f...html?name=Zeno
