Kong API Gateway plugin for url-rewrite purposes.

When using Kong, you can create routes that proxy to an upstream. The problem lies when the upstream has an url that is not very friendly to your clients, or restful, or even pretty. When you add a Route in Kong, you have a somewhat limited url rewrite capability. This plugin simply throws away the url set in Kong route and uses the url set in it's configuration to proxy to the upstream. This gives you full freedom as to how to write your url's in Kong and inner services as well.

The plugin folder should contain at least a schema.lua and a handler.lua, alongside with a spec folder and a .rockspec file specifying the current version of the package.

The .rockspec file should follow LuaRocks' conventions

Configure this plugin on a Route with:

curl -X POST http://kong:8001/routes/{route_id}/plugins \
    --data "name=kong-plugin-url-rewrite"  \
    --data "config.url=http://new-url.com"

• route_id: the id of the Route that this plugin configuration will target.
• config.url: the url where you want kong to execute the request.
