This document contains information about the Apache APISIX response-rewrite Plugin.

Description

The response-rewrite Plugin rewrites the content returned by the Upstream and APISIX.

This Plugin can be useful in these scenarios:

  • To set Access-Control-Allow-* field for supporting CORS.
  • To set custom status_code and Location fields in the header to redirect.

:::tip

You can also use the redirect Plugin to setup redirects.

Attributes

Name Type Required Default Valid values Description
status_code integer False [200, 598] New HTTP status code in the response. If unset, falls back to the original status code.
body string False New body of the response. The content-length would also be reset.
body_base64 boolean False false When set, the body of the request will be decoded before writing to the client.
headers object False
headers.add array False Append the new headers to the response. The format is ["name: value", ...]. The values in the header can contain Nginx variables like $remote_addr and $balancer_ip.
headers.set object False Rewriting the headers. The format is {"name": "value", ...}. The values in the header can contain Nginx variables like $remote_addr and $balancer_ip.
headers.remove array False Remove the headers. The format is ["name", ...].
vars array[] False See lua-resty-expr for a list of available operators. Nginx variable expressions to conditionally execute the rewrite. The Plugin will be executed unconditionally if this value is empty.
filters array[] False List of filters that modify the response body by replacing one specified string with another.
filters.regex string True Regex pattern to match on the response body.
filters.scope string False "once" "once","global" Range to substitute. once substitutes the first match of filters.regex and global does global substitution.
filters.replace string True Content to substitute with.
filters.options string False "jo" Regex options. See ngx.re.match.

:::note

Only one of body or filters can be configured.

Enabling the Plugin

The example below enables the response-rewrite Plugin on a specific Route:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1  -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/test/index.html",
    "plugins": {
        "response-rewrite": {
            "body": "{\"code\":\"ok\",\"message\":\"new json body\"}",
            "headers": {
                "set": {
                    "X-Server-id": 3,
                    "X-Server-status": "on",
                    "X-Server-balancer_addr": "$balancer_ip:$balancer_port"
                }
            },
            "vars":[
                [ "status","==",200 ]
            ]
        }
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:80": 1
        }
    }
}'

Here, vars is configured to run the Plugin only on responses with a 200 status code.

Besides set operation, you can also add or remove response header like:

"headers": {
    "add": [
        "X-Server-balancer_addr: $balancer_ip:$balancer_port"
    ],
    "remove": [
        "X-TO-BE-REMOVED"
    ]
}

The execution order among those operations are ["add", "set", "remove"].

If you are using the deprecated headers configuration which puts the headers directly under headers, you need to move them to headers.set.

Example usage

Once you have enabled the Plugin as shown above, you can make a request:

curl -X GET -i  http://127.0.0.1:9080/test/index.html

The response will be as shown below no matter what the response is from the Upstream:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2019 09:15:12 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
X-Server-id: 3
X-Server-status: on
X-Server-balancer_addr: 127.0.0.1:80

{"code":"ok","message":"new json body"}

:::info IMPORTANT

ngx.exit will interrupt the execution of a request and returns its status code to Nginx.

However, if ngx.exit is executed during an access phase, it will only interrupt the request processing phase and the response phase will still continue to run.

So, if you have configured the response-rewrite Plugin, it do a force overwrite of the response.

Phase rewrite access header_filter body_filter
rewrite ngx.exit √ √ √
access × ngx.exit √ √
header_filter √ √ ngx.exit √
body_filter √ √ × ngx.exit

:::

The example below shows how you can replace a key in the response body. Here, the key X-Amzn-Trace-Id is replaced with X-Amzn-Trace-Id-Replace by configuring the filters attribute using regex:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
  "plugins":{
    "response-rewrite":{
      "headers":{
        "set": {
            "X-Server-id":3,
            "X-Server-status":"on",
            "X-Server-balancer_addr":"$balancer_ip:$balancer_port"
        }
      },
      "filters":[
        {
          "regex":"X-Amzn-Trace-Id",
          "scope":"global",
          "replace":"X-Amzn-Trace-Id-Replace"
        }
      ],
      "vars":[
        [
          "status",
          "==",
          200
        ]
      ]
    }
  },
  "upstream":{
    "type":"roundrobin",
    "scheme":"https",
    "nodes":{
      "httpbin.org:443":1
    }
  },
  "uri":"/*"
}'
curl -X GET -i  http://127.0.0.1:9080/get
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
X-Server-status: on
X-Server-balancer-addr: 34.206.80.189:443
X-Server-id: 3

Disable Plugin

To disable the response-rewrite Plugin, you can delete the corresponding JSON configuration from the Plugin configuration. APISIX will automatically reload and you do not have to restart for this to take effect.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes/1  -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/test/index.html",
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "127.0.0.1:80": 1
        }
    }
}'
