Rewrite a GET request with URl rewrite and method transform

I am trying to make a GET request transform to a POST request with a URL rewrite.

Request:
GET /foo

Desired result:
POST /bar -d ‘{json stuff}’

I’ve tried a number of things with the URL rewrite in the UI, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a way to do this in the UI? If not, is there a way to do it with Middleware? If so, how?

Thanks,
Mike

In addition to URL rewrite you should additionally use “Method transform” plugin.

Additionally in 2.8/1.8 you can use looping like this:

Thank you Leon, that seems to work for the translating the request.

Another question: The body transform doesn’t appear to be working now. I have a template where I’m attempting to insert a path parameter, but it isn’t including the template on the request.

}

Also, “enable context variables” is set to true

More research:
It has to do with the {{._tyk_context.path_parts[0]}} variable. If I hard code that, everything works

Try using the following expression:

{{index ._tyk_context.path_parts 0}}

In general it use Go templates syntax template package - text/template - Go Packages

Yes, that works. I thought I saw somewhere in your docs to use path_parts[0], but it must have been something else (obviously a different language).

Thanks!
