HTTP method matching

For example, if you specify an HTTP method in a route table for service B, a request from service A in your mesh to service B must use that HTTP method in order for the request to be routed. For other methods of request matching, see Match incoming requests.

In a RouteTable resource, add the following matchers section to your route:

  ...
  http:
  - matchers:
    - method: <HTTP_method>
    ...
  

For more information, see the Gloo Mesh API docs for route tables and for request matching.

Examples link

In this example, the ingress gateway forwards all PATCH requests to the myapp destination.

  apiVersion: networking.gloo.solo.io/v2
kind: RouteTable
metadata:
  name: http-method-match
  namespace: global
spec:
  hosts:
    - 'myapp.global.svc.cluster.local'
  http:
  - matchers:
    - method: PATCH
    forwardTo:
      destinations:
      - ref:
          name: myapp
          namespace: global
          cluster: ${REMOTE_CLUSTER1}
        port:
          number: 8090
        kind: SERVICE
