Testing CDN

Test CDN: Your CDN should now be ready for testing. Access http://localhost:8000/pythonanywhere/test to receive a response like this:

This demonstrates Kong CDN redirecting to the main website's test page. Upload and Download: Both upload and download processes are available. Find the corresponding requests in the Insomnia collection under the /flask folder.

• For Download, use a GET request to retrieve a file (e.g., http://localhost:8000/pythonanywhere/download/img2.jpg).
• For Upload, make a POST request with the required parameters, such as name and filename. Refer to the post request in insomina for details.

With these steps completed, you should have successfully set up and tested the KONG-Flask integration for upload and download APIs.🎉
