Upcoming Maintenance: Domain Fronting Requests Will Be Rejected

Scheduled for Jul 23, 13:00 - 15:00 PDT

Scheduled

We are phasing out support for domain fronting on traffic that passes through our CDN. As part of this change, all incoming connections to the following endpoints must include a valid Server Name Indication (SNI) during TLS negotiation:

* app.launchdarkly.com
* sdk.launchdarkly.com
* clientsdk.launchdarkly.com

Brownout Test Scheduled

🗓️ Date: Jul 23, 2025
🕐 Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Pacific Time

During this two-hour brownout test window, any request that does not include a valid SNI will be rejected with an HTTP 421 (Misdirected Request) response code.

We've already worked with impacted customers and currently observe only trace levels of non-compliant traffic, primarily from automated sources such as bots and crawlers. However, we recommend all customers monitor their services during this time, especially if you use a proxy between your applications and LaunchDarkly.

What to Do If You See Issues

If you encounter a 421 response for what you believe is a valid request:

1. Check SNI Configuration: Ensure your tools, libraries, or proxies are correctly configured to include SNI during TLS handshakes.
2. Contact Support: If the issue persists, reach out to our support team. Please include details such as:
* The endpoint being accessed
* The tools, SDKs, libraries, or proxies involved
* Logs or error messages, if available
