# Own HTTP-based Storage

Scaleflex DMO can download images from any web server over HTTP/HTTPS. Add your image storage servers and optionally set authentication credentials in case your server require authentication.

If your images are stored at URL **<https://mystorage.example.com>** and you can access **image.jpg** with the following URL:

//**mystorage.example.com**/**image.jpg**

You should enter the data as per the following screenshot:

<figure><img src="/files/YBsFZ6ypXuCHF84Tcevo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

All aliases have to be prefixed and suffixed by underscores. Please note that all aliases have to be unique for your account.

Your storage is now accessible by using the alias entered in the **Alias** field.\
//your-token.cloudimg.io/**\_ownstorage\_**/**image.jpg**

If your storage requires authentication, you can enter your username and password.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.scaleflex.com/dynamic-media-optimization-dmo/settings/asset-origin/own-http-based-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
