Append prefix to uri

Help
1

1. The problem I’m having:

I want to achieve the opposite behavior of “uri strip_prefix”: I always want to add a /foo in front of the url.

e.g.

[domain] → [domain]/foo
[domain]/a → [domain]/foo/a

2. Caddy version:

2.3.0

Found it: it’s just rewrite * /foo{uri}

That’s a very old version. Please upgrade to the latest, v2.7.4. You should not wait so long to upgrade.

That you for that hint! Just updated to the latest version!

But still struggling with my configuration: can I chain multiple rewrite / uri s?

e.g.

uri string_prefix /api
rewrite * /app/service{uri}

doesn’t seam to work. Neither does e.g.

rewrite * /app{uri}
rewrite * /service{uri}

I’m trying to achieve the following:

If a request starts with /api: strip /api and redirect to /app/service
Else redirect to /app/web

Here is my current setup, that doesn’t seam to work:

[myurl] {
route /api* {
uri strip_prefix /api
rewrite * /app/service{uri}
reverse_proxy [k8s-domain]
}

	# If this line exists, all request are redirected to the frontend (web)
    rewrite * /app/web{uri}
	
    reverse_proxy [k8s-domain]

}

6 
handle_path /api* {
	rewrite * /app/service{uri}
}

handle {
	rewrite * /app/web{uri}
}

reverse_proxy wherever

Haha … Just came up with this solution some minutes ago - and works like a charm :slight_smile: Thank you very much anyway!

One more question, if I’m already here: I pretty much liked the short version you posted here (and had it first, too), but need some different header_up for the two cases. I now put the reverse_proxy in both of the handlers. Guess that’s ok, since they are terminating handlers?

Yeah, that’s fine :+1:
