Impossible to ignore proxy path prefix

Hi,

I need to proxy requests from /api to the root of other site: http://test.com:

/api/users -> http://test.com/users /api/users/1 -> http://test.com/users/1

But all my requests lead to http://test.com/api/* How to ignore /api prefix but not to ignore other path? When I use ignorePath settings all my requests lead to http://test.com.

Config:

server.middleware = proxyMiddleware('/api', {target: 'http://test.com', proxyHost: 'test.com'});

Ah, didn’t read your question well… 😃

You can rewrite paths with the pathRewrite option. https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-proxy-middleware#options

var options = {
  target: 'http://test.com',
  changeOrigin: true,
  pathRewrite: {'^/api' : ''}      // <-- this will remove the /api prefix
};

server.middleware = proxyMiddleware('/api', options);

Can we add a boolean option to plainly avoid path prefixing. pathRewrite still sound complex.
