HI, I have created apI using below definition:
curl -v -H “x-tyk-authorization: 352d20ee67be67f6340b4c0605b044b7”
-s
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-X POST
-d '{
“name”: “test”,
“slug”: “test”,
“api_id”: “test”,
“org_id”: “1”,
“use_keyless”: true,
“definition”: {
“location”: “header”,
“key”: “x-api-version”
},
“version_data”: {
“not_versioned”: true,
“versions”: {
“Default”: {
“name”: “Default”,
“use_extended_paths”: true

    }
  }
  "strip_auth_data": false
},
"proxy": {
  "listen_path": "/CloudGateway/rest/",
  "target_url": "https://ip-10-10-31-38.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal:8443/",

  "strip_listen_path": true
},
"active": true

}’ http://ec2-18-142-155-240.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/tyk/apis | python -mjson.tool

when I hit tyk url I get “There was a problem proxying the request”

I am using selfsigned certificate at the target app, is it causing the issue. If yes then how I can fix. Please help to share your thought.

I have even tried adding below in the tyk.conf:

“proxy_ssl_insecure_skip_verify”: true,
“http_server_options.ssl_insecure_skip_verify”: true,

Still getting the same error.

Hi,

Could you retry using this api definition please?

{
  "name": "test",
  "slug": "test",
  "api_id": "test",
  "auth": {},
  "org_id": "1",
  "use_keyless": true,
  "definition": {
    "location": "header",
    "key": "x-api-version"
  },
  "version_data": {
    "not_versioned": true,
    "versions": {
      "Default": {
        "name": "Default",
        "use_extended_paths": true
      }
    },
    "strip_auth_data": false
  },
  "proxy": {
    "listen_path": "/CloudGateway/rest/",
    "target_url": "https://ip-10-10-31-38.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal:8443/",
    "strip_listen_path": true
  },
  "active": true
}

The one in your call is not correct json and is missing the required "auth": {},
