The CDN subdomain is hosted on a completely separate system to most of
the others.
It shares server space with download.kde.org and files.kde.org, and
runs behind Incapsula which provides caching.

You wouldn't be able to do much in the way of dynamic content there as
a result, as accessing the various databases would be impossible at
the moment.
(Out of interest, what are you trying to achieve?)
