Combining basic-auth & proxy-rewrite

[BFergerson]

I am trying to use two plugins to create a sort of password-protected area in my application. I was hoping to use the basic-auth plugin for username/password functionality and proxy-rewrite to automatically add the username to the route. For example, dynamically rerouting requests to host:3000 to host:3000/{username}.

Is this something that falls within the functionalities APISIX aims to cover? Is this something I can achieve with a custom plugin?

It seems we cannot modify uri based on request headers.

I think maybe we can expand the proxy-rewrite, PR's welcome!

You may need to change proxy-rewrite like what we have done with fault-injection:

apisix/apisix/plugins/fault-injection.lua

Line 85 in 5377751

return conf.abort.http_status, core.utils.resolve_var(conf.abort.body, ctx.var)

And use the consumer_name as variable name. See:

apisix/apisix/core/ctx.lua

Lines 174 to 175 in 5377751

	elseif key == "consumer_name" then
	val = ngx.ctx.api_ctx and ngx.ctx.api_ctx.consumer_name
