do we have cookie based routing for httpproxy?

[chatwithruben]

What question do you have?:
i have a use case where httpproxy should validate the cookie contents and route to particular service accordinly.

cookie name is "cookie"
inside cookie we have something like X-Service-version-v12 also in some cookies it might be X-Service-version-v13

so what we wanted is our httpproxy should be capable of reading for the cookie and route to particular service accordingly.

Contour does not have cookie based request matching at this time, but we do support cookie based load balancing/session affinity to enable you to maintain a stateful session to an individual app instance, see the RequestHash or Cookie load balancing strategies documented here: https://projectcontour.io/docs/1.29/config/request-routing/#load-balancing-strategy

@sunjayBhatia Can we consider this as a a good use case?
