},
"upstream": {

Test Plugin
Here is a correct test example:
$ curl http://127.0.0.2:9080/index.html -H 'apikey: auth-one' -i
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
If the request does not set apikey
correctly, will get a 401
response.
$ curl http://127.0.0.2:9080/index.html -i
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
...
{"message":"Missing API key found in request"}
$ curl http://127.0.0.2:9080/index.html -H 'apikey: abcabcabc' -i
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
...
{"message":"Invalid API key in request"}
Disable Plugin
When you want to disable the key-auth
plugin, it is very simple,
you can delete the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration,
no need to restart the service, it will take effect immediately:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/apisix/routes/1 -X PUT -d value='
{
"uri": "/index.html",
"plugins": {},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"39.97.63.215:80": 1
}
}
}'
The key-auth
plugin has been disabled now. It works for other plugins.
