 The above route can be invoked by sending a `GET` request to:
 `https://[parseServerPublicUrl]/[parseMount]/[pagesEndpoint]/[appId]/[customRoute]`
-

 The `handler` receives the `request` and returns a `custom_page.html` webpage from the `pages.pagesPath` directory as response. The advantage of building a custom route this way is that it automatically makes use of Parse Server's built-in capabilities, such as [page localization](#pages) and [dynamic placeholders](#dynamic-placeholders).

 `GridFSBucketAdapter` is used by default and requires no setup, but if you're interested in using Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or local file storage, additional configuration information is available in the [Parse Server guide](http://docs.parseplatform.org/parse-server/guide/#configuring-file-adapters).

 **Caution, this is an experimental feature that may not be appropriate for production.**
 
 This feature deduplicates identical requests that are received by Parse Server multiple times, typically due to network issues or network adapter access restrictions on mobile operating systems.
