SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of modifying incoming request attributes like URI, host, method, and headers before they are forwarded to your backend services, enabling flexible traffic management and backend integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • URI Rewriting: Dynamically change request paths, including prefix stripping and complex regex transformations.
  • Header Manipulation: Add, set, or remove request headers to control backend behavior or pass information.
  • Method & Scheme Changes: Alter the HTTP method or scheme for compatibility with backend services.
  • Use Case: You need to route traffic from /api/v1/* to a backend service that expects /v2/*, while also adding a custom X-API-Version: v2 header.

Quick Start

Configure the proxy-rewrite plugin on a new route to strip the '/api/v1' prefix and rewrite the URI to '/users'.
