Example usage#

Once you have configured the Plugin as shown above, you can try accessing the file:

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/root.exe?a=a
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:55:41 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 150

... ...

You can also set a rejected_msg and it will be added to the response body:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 150

{"error_msg":"access is not allowed"}

Disable Plugin#

To disable the uri-blocker Plugin, you can delete the corresponding JSON configuration from the Plugin configuration. APISIX will automatically reload and you do not have to restart for this to take effect.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/*",
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
}
}
}'
