Does Ocelot support conditional routing based on a header?

[usama-azakaw]

I want to route the request only if there's a bearer token present in the header of the request. (I don't want to validate the token at Ocelot).

You want to detect Auth header but don't want to authenticate, right?
To achieve that you could use any middleware and class which have local HttpContext or HttpRequest object, mostly all classes and services where you can read Headers collection 👉

• use Middleware Injection and develop a small middleware which detects the header: context.Request.Headers, see HttpRequest.Headers
• use Delegating Handler and develop a small handler to detect the header: request.Headers, see HttpRequestMessage.Headers

After the header detection just fail the request by status code overriding, so use some code from range 3xx-4xx.

Hope it helps!
