www-less urls are not handled by CDN?

I have 2 domains registered with the CDN; mydomain.com and mydomain.co.uk. The .com variant works fine. When I use the full url, www.mydomain.co.uk, it works too, however if I skip the 'www' part it fails. E.g. this does NOT work; mydomain.co.uk
I don't understand what the problem is. Any ideas?

    @PaulMarsh-3273 Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused

    A custom domain and its subdomain can be associated with only a single endpoint at a time. However, you can use different subdomains from the same custom domain for different Azure service endpoints by using multiple CNAME records. You can also map a custom domain with different subdomains to the same CDN endpoint.

    You can use different subdomains in the same endpoint. Alternatively, I think you also could create two endpoints, one is for the root domain without www, the other is for a subdomain with www.

    Please refer to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-map-content-to-custom-domain#create-a-cname-dns-record

    Also, you can implement redirection in your server or CDN.

    When someone tries to access example.com, you can do a 301 by sending http://www.example.com in the location header.

    Hope this helps!
