Add Request Headers

Ambassador Edge Stack can add a dictionary of HTTP headers that can be added to each request that is passed to a service.

The add_request_headers attribute

The add_request_headers attribute is a dictionary of header: value pairs. The value can be a string, bool or object. When it is an object, the object should have a value property, which is the actual header value, and the remaining attributes are additional envoy properties.

Envoy dynamic values %DOWNSTREAM_REMOTE_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_PORT% and %PROTOCOL% are supported, in addition to static values.

A Basic Example

apiVersion: getambassador.io/v2
kind:  Mapping
metadata:
  name:  quote-backend
spec:
  prefix: /backend/
  add_request_headers:
    x-test-proto: "%PROTOCOL%"
    x-test-ip: "%DOWNSTREAM_REMOTE_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_PORT%"
    x-test-static: This is a test header
    x-test-static-2:
      value: This the test header #same as above  x-test-static header
    x-test-object:
      value: This the value
      append: False #True by default
  service: quote

will add the protocol, client IP, and a static header to /backend/.
