Info

Akamai Image Manager backed service. Backward compatible with the deprecated Heroku Image Proxy service. Certain automated and unused behaviours have been deprecated, rendering these parameters superfluous. Other parameters have been added, specifically new Image Manager text overlays, as the deprecated text parameter values are not reproducible using Akamai Image Manager. In order to facilitate smooth client transitions, requests using the old text parameters will be temporarily forwarded to the old Heroku Image Proxy service.
