nfrankel opened a new issue #6504: URL: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/6504
### Issue description ### Use-case To test a new version of my endpoint, I want to use the [proxy-mirror plugin](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/plugins/proxy-mirror). The incoming request is `/v1/hello`. I'm using the [proxy-rewrite plugin](https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/plugins/proxy-rewrite) to rewrite the path to `/hello` before sending it to the upstream. However, the priority of `proxy-rewrite` is 1008; the priority of proxy-mirror 1010. For this reason, the mirroring is first applied, sending `/v1/hello` to the mirror host, and only then is the rewrite applied, sending `/hello` to the nominal upstream. The mirror returns 404, as it doesn't know about `v1`. I need the opposite, first rewrite, then mirror. ### Alternative solutions * Change the respective priority of `proxy-mirror` and `proxy-rewrite` to execute rewrite before mirror. **Pro**: easy fix **Cons**: * Breaking change * Some users may want to keep the current order * Move the ordering to configuration. Instead of having the priority in the source code, make it a runtime concern. **Pro**: very flexible **Cons**: * Breaking change * Require configuring the order, even if the current one fits * Allow to override default order. Keep the default priority in the source code, but allows overriding it in configuration **Pro**: * Very flexible * Compatible with existing usage **Con**: design and development effort -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
