Description

The proxy-rewrite Plugin offers options to rewrite requests that APISIX forwards to Upstream services. With this plugin, you can modify the HTTP methods, request destination Upstream addresses, request headers, and more.

Attributes

Name Type Required Default Valid values Description
uri string False New Upstream URI path. Value supports NGINX variables. For example, $arg_name.
method string False ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "HEAD", "DELETE", "OPTIONS","MKCOL", "COPY", "MOVE", "PROPFIND", "PROPFIND","LOCK", "UNLOCK", "PATCH", "TRACE"] HTTP method to rewrite requests to use.
regex_uri array[string] False Regular expressions used to match the URI path from client requests and compose a new Upstream URI path. When both uri and regex_uri are configured, uri has a higher priority. The array should contain one or more key-value pairs, with the key being the regular expression to match URI against and value being the new Upstream URI path. For example, with ["^/iresty/(. *)/(. *)", "/$1-$2", ^/theothers/*", "/theothers"], if a request is originally sent to /iresty/hello/world, the Plugin will rewrite the Upstream URI path to /iresty/hello-world; if a request is originally sent to /theothers/hello/world, the Plugin will rewrite the Upstream URI path to /theothers.
host string False Set Host request header.
headers object False Header actions to be executed. Can be set to objects of action verbs add, remove, and/or set; or an object consisting of headers to be set. When multiple action verbs are configured, actions are executed in the order of add, remove, and set.
headers.add object False Headers to append to requests. If a header already present in the request, the header value will be appended. Header value could be set to a constant, one or more NGINX variables, or the matched result of regex_uri using variables such as $1-$2-$3.
headers.set object False Headers to set to requests. If a header already present in the request, the header value will be overwritten. Header value could be set to a constant, one or more NGINX variables, or the matched result of regex_uri using variables such as $1-$2-$3. Should not be used to set Host.
headers.remove array[string] False Headers to remove from requests.
use_real_request_uri_unsafe boolean False false If true, bypass URI normalization and allow for the full original request URI. Enabling this option is considered unsafe.

Examples

The examples below demonstrate how you can configure proxy-rewrite on a Route in different scenarios.

:::note

You can fetch the admin_key from config.yaml and save to an environment variable with the following command:

admin_key=$(yq '.deployment.admin.admin_key[0].key' conf/config.yaml | sed 's/"//g')

:::

Rewrite Host Header

The following example demonstrates how you can modify the Host header in a request. Note that you should not use headers.set to set the Host header.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/headers",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "host": "myapisix.demo"
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to /headers to check all the request headers sent to upstream:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/headers"

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "myapisix.demo",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.2.1",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fef198-29da0970383150175bd2d76d",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Rewrite URI And Set Headers

The following example demonstrates how you can rewrite the request Upstream URI and set additional header values. If the same headers present in the client request, the corresponding header values set in the Plugin will overwrite the values present in the client request.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "uri": "/anything",
        "headers": {
          "set": {
            "X-Api-Version": "v1",
            "X-Api-Engine": "apisix"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to verify:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/" -H '"X-Api-Version": "v2"'

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "args": {},
  "data": "",
  "files": {},
  "form": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.2.1",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fed73a-59cd3bd640d76ab16c97f1f1",
    "X-Api-Engine": "apisix",
    "X-Api-Version": "v1",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "json": null,
  "method": "GET",
  "origin": "::1, 103.248.35.179",
  "url": "http://localhost/anything"
}

Note that both headers present and the header value of X-Api-Version configured in the Plugin overwrites the header value passed in the request.

Rewrite URI And Append Headers

The following example demonstrates how you can rewrite the request Upstream URI and append additional header values. If the same headers present in the client request, their headers values will append to the configured header values in the plugin.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "uri": "/headers",
        "headers": {
          "add": {
            "X-Api-Version": "v1",
            "X-Api-Engine": "apisix"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to verify:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/" -H '"X-Api-Version": "v2"'

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.2.1",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fed73a-59cd3bd640d76ab16c97f1f1",
    "X-Api-Engine": "apisix",
    "X-Api-Version": "v1,v2",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Note that both headers present and the header value of X-Api-Version configured in the Plugin is appended by the header value passed in the request.

Remove Existing Header

The following example demonstrates how you can remove an existing header User-Agent.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/headers",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "headers": {
          "remove":[
            "User-Agent"
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to verify if the specified header is removed:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/headers"

You should see a response similar to the following, where the User-Agent header is not present:

{
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "httpbin.org",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fef302-07f2b13e0eb006ba776ad91d",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Rewrite URI Using RegEx

The following example demonstrates how you can parse text from the original Upstream URI path and use them to compose a new Upstream URI path. In this example, APISIX is configured to forward all requests from /test/user/agent to /user-agent.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "uri": "/test/*",
    "plugins": {
      # highlight-start
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "regex_uri": ["^/test/(.*)/(.*)", "/$1-$2"]
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to /test/user/agent to check if it is redirected to /user-agent:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/test/user/agent"

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "user-agent": "curl/8.2.1"
}

Add URL Parameters

The following example demonstrates how you can add URL parameters to the request.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/get",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "uri": "/get?arg1=apisix&arg2=plugin"
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to verify if the URL parameters are also forwarded to upstream:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "args": {
    "arg1": "apisix",
    "arg2": "plugin"
  },
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "127.0.0.1",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.2.1",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fef6dc-2b0e09591db7353a275cdae4",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "origin": "127.0.0.1, 103.248.35.148",
  # highlight-next-line
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1/get?arg1=apisix&arg2=plugin"
}

Rewrite HTTP Method

The following example demonstrates how you can rewrite a GET request into a POST request.

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "proxy-rewrite-route",
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/get",
    "plugins": {
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "uri": "/anything",
        "method":"POST"
      }
    },
    "upstream": {
      "type": "roundrobin",
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org:80": 1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a GET request to /get to verify if it is transformed into a POST request to /anything:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"

You should see a response similar to the following:

{
  "args": {},
  "data": "",
  "files": {},
  "form": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "127.0.0.1",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.2.1",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-64fef7de-0c63387645353998196317f2",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "json": null,
  "method": "POST",
  "origin": "::1, 103.248.35.179",
  "url": "http://localhost/anything"
}

Forward Consumer Names to Upstream

The following example demonstrates how you can forward the name of consumers who authenticates successfully to Upstream services. As an example, you will be using key-auth as the authentication method.

Create a Consumer JohnDoe:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "username": "JohnDoe"
  }'

Create key-auth credential for the Consumer:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/consumers/JohnDoe/credentials" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "cred-john-key-auth",
    "plugins": {
      "key-auth": {
        "key": "john-key"
      }
    }
  }'

Next, create a Route with key authentication enabled, configure proxy-rewrite to add Consumer name to the header, and remove the authentication key so that it is not visible to the Upstream service:

curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes" -X PUT \
  -H "X-API-KEY: ${admin_key}" \
  -d '{
    "id": "consumer-restricted-route",
    "uri": "/get",
    "plugins": {
      "key-auth": {},
      "proxy-rewrite": {
        "headers": {
          "set": {
            "X-Apisix-Consumer": "$consumer_name"
          },
          "remove": [ "Apikey" ]
        }
      }
    },
    "upstream" : {
      "nodes": {
        "httpbin.org":1
      }
    }
  }'

Send a request to the Route as Consumer JohnDoe:

curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get" -H 'apikey: john-key'

You should receive an HTTP/1.1 200 OK response with the following body:

{
  "args": {},
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Host": "127.0.0.1",
    "User-Agent": "curl/8.4.0",
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-664b01a6-2163c0156ed4bff51d87d877",
    "X-Apisix-Consumer": "JohnDoe",
    "X-Forwarded-Host": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "origin": "172.19.0.1, 203.12.12.12",
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1/get"
}

Send another request to the Route without the valid credential:

curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9080/get"

You should receive an HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden response.
