This PR enables stripping prefixes not only on slash boundaries but also inside of them. The actual mux routing was always capable of routing within the slash boundaries, only the prefix wasn't stripped properly.
Consider we have a fronted rule like
PathPrefixStrip:/stat
and we are calling Traefik with a Path like/status
. This would route the request to the frontend/it's connected backends but the path wouldn't be stripped. With the fix provided in this PR it will properly strip and forward a path like/us
.While fixing this problem I realized that the
stripPrefix
middleware could actually be simplified while keeping all tests working properly.As there was no bug-report by any other Traefik users I am unsure whether we still want to bring this into the 1.4 release. Let me know if I should switch PR to master instead.
