Enabling the Plugin

The example below enables the uri-blocker Plugin on a specific Route:

{
    "uri": "/*",
    "plugins": {
        "uri-blocker": {
            "block_rules": ["root.exe", "root.m+"]
        }
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",

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

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

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
        }
    }
}'
