I have following requests
GET/POST http://10.0.0.1:8081/foo/abc/pqr
GET/POST http://10.0.0.1:8081/bar/xyz/tuv
Depending on /foo or /bar i need to send them to different backends let say fooServer and barServeras follows
GET/POST http://10.0.0.1:8080/abc/pqr
GET/POST http://10.0.0.1:8585/xyz/tuv
Solution
Use haproxy or nginx to ulr redirect, I have tried nginx and this time i want to try haproxy therefore this post is based on haproxy
Install haproxy (on Mac), Configure and Run
1. install brew
see https://brew.sh/
2. brew install haproxy
3. Configure haproxy.cfg
vim /usr/local/etc/haproxy.cfg
4. Start haproxy
To have launchd start haproxy now and restart at login:
brew services start haproxy
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
haproxy -f /usr/local/etc/haproxy.cfg
Note that I want to replace the /foo and /bar parts from the original url
