One question, how would this implement into a CDN? CDN's can and will proxy back simple token-based authentication requests to ensure
that deep linking is not possible. Does SAML need to be passed as well? Or can translation happen to where, once the end user is authenticated
the translator can put out a token in the URL to be handled on the CDN proxy request? Thanks.

It was a very nice idea! Just wanna say thank you for the information you have shared. Just continue writing this kind of post.
