I some cases when you don’t have the time to download a huge storagefolder from production to your development environment but want to use the most current database you often end up with a unusable website. Is it possible to extend something to either delivery a link to a sample image or change how image url:are resolved to serve a sample image so you could get a better local development environment?

Litium version: 5.6.9 and 7.4

Can the [Err\_too\_many\_redirects](https://forum.litium.com/t/err-too-many-redirects/1293) be a solution here also? Not sure of that will work for Litium 5 but I think it works from Litium 6 and newer.

Just use the cdn node to your production environment in web.config.

Example

> storage useCdn=“true” useSecureCdn=“true” cdnHost=“[http://my-production-website.com/](http://my-production-website.com/)” cdnSecureHost=“[https://my-production-website.com/](https://my-production-website.com/)” /\>
