Could Kong just proxy request but not wait for response from proxied servers?

[ShinEDL]

What I need just proxy request, but wait for response make QPS slow.
Looking forward your answer ! thank you !

how would that deal with an error?

One could write a plugin hat makes an asynchronous HTTP call upstream, ignores the response, and sends a synthetic response downstream. But I doubt any feature like this will ever make it into Kong core ;)

[ShinEDL]

@Tieske It does't matter, because our business don't need response. haha...

[ShinEDL]

@p0pr0ck5 If it could make into Kong core, that would be so great.

@ShinEDL No more plugin will make it into Kong core, sorry! In fact, the current plugins will actually be taken outside of the core, and the later will stay lean.

We will bundle a set of default plugins in the release archive instead :) See #2355 for some context.

@thibaultcha Thank for your response.
What I think is if this feature could be implement by Kong? It is useful for some kind of business, such as time-limited sales on second.
sorry for my poor English...

This could possibly make into (upcoming) a plugins API. Outside of core it is just about requiring lua-resty-http and running it in timer. It already has the proxy function built-in.

@ShinEDL kong's core functionality is to use nginx's built-in proxying mechanism to proxy the request. as mentioned, short-circuiting this is certainly doable with a plugin, but it doesn't belong in a core proxying framework- indeed, this is what plugins are for! :) we provide a reference at https://getkong.org/docs/0.10.x/plugin-development/ for writing, testing, and deploying your own plugins, and we'd love to hear about your experience writing new plugins for your environment via Gitter, the mailing list, etc. Thanks!
