The strip_path property

It may be desirable to specify a URI prefix to match an API, but not include it in the upstream request. To do so, use the strip_path boolean property by configuring an API like this:

{
    "name": "My API",
    "proxy": {
        "strip_path" : true,
        "listen_path": "/service/*",
        "upstreams" : {
            "balancing": "roundrobin",
            "targets": [
                {"target": "http://my-api.com"}
            ]
        },
        "methods": ["GET"]
    }
}

Enabling this flag instructs Janus that when proxying this API, it should not include the matching URI prefix in the upstream request's URI. For example, the following client's request to the API configured as above:

GET /service/path/to/resource HTTP/1.1
Host: my-api.com

Will cause Janus to send the following request to your upstream service:

GET /path/to/resource HTTP/1.1
Host: my-api.com
