Solved: Using HttpModifier to set Target Proxy URL Context - Page 2

Hi,

I noticed in this https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/reference/policies/http-modifier-policy#set-path

This element isn't currently working as designed to override/rewrite a proxy's target URL.

Sometimes you may need to send a message to a URL other than the URL defined in an API proxy's TargetEndpoint. (You can't override target.url in the ProxyEndpoint, because Apigee sets the variable in the TargetEndpoint).

Is there an alternate way to do this?

Thanks,

Kyle

Just to follow up, Using a JS policy to update target.url worked.

if (context.flow=="TARGET_REQ_FLOW") {
     var target_url = context.getVariable("property_set_webhook_lookup");
     context.setVariable("target.url", "https://" + target_url + "/");
}
