The GCDN Terminus plugin now supports HTTP-01 certificate validation as an alternative to DNS TXT records when verifying domains on the next-generation Global CDN.
Certificate validation uses DNS-01 (TXT record) by default, letting your certificate be issued before you update DNS. If you'd rather not add a second TXT record for the certificate, you can now use HTTP-01 instead: once your one domain-ownership TXT record verifies, point DNS and the certificate issues over HTTP on that hostname. The certificate can't be pre-provisioned this way, so there may be brief downtime during cutover:
For full setup steps, see the Terminus CLI tab in Next Generation Global CDN.
