Description

This PR modifies the Envoy HTTP filter plugin to perform a basic set-header operation. For example, the following config will modify the x-forwarded-proto header to have the value https.

- name: sample
            typed_config:
              "@type": type.googleapis.com/sample.Decoder
              key: header-processing
              val: "set-header x-forwarded-proto https"

Testing

// Build and run envoy
bazel build //http-filter-example:envoy
./bazel-bin/http-filter-example/envoy -c ./http-filter-example/envoy-sample-config.yaml

// Set up Docker backend to echo http headers and send a curl request to envoy
// Docker image found here: https://hub.docker.com/r/ealen/echo-server
curl localhost:8081

We can see the specified header is set to https:

ubuntu@ip-10-128-172-195:~$ curl localhost:8081
