a6-plugin-proxy-rewrite

Overview

The proxy-rewrite plugin rewrites request attributes before APISIX forwards the request to the upstream. You can change the URI path, host header, HTTP method, scheme, and add/set/remove request headers — all without modifying your backend service.

When to Use

• Rewrite the URI path before forwarding (e.g., strip a prefix like /api/v1)
• Rewrite the Host header for backend routing
• Change the HTTP method (e.g., convert POST to PUT)
• Add, set, or remove request headers before proxying
• Use regex-based URI rewriting for complex path transformations
• Switch the scheme from HTTP to HTTPS (or vice versa) when proxying
