Hey everyone! My name is Redhwan Nacef (Red for short). In this channel, I'm hoping to share my thoughts on software engineering, coding, management, and all things tech. I hope you enjoy!

Very clear explanation. keep up the good work Redhwan. Subscribed :)

[@RedhwanNacef]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@jimbobjonesification]

This was great! Thanks very much…. Would love to see a python one too.

[@RedhwanNacef]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I don't really have much experience in python so not sure I would be best placed for that, but will definitely look into it!

Glad to hear.

[@aruntyagi1567]

how can I add a header from this plugin to the request?

[@RedhwanNacef]

I give an example of adding a header at 06:00 using the SetHeader() function, is this what you mean?

[@aruntyagi1567]

@@RedhwanNacef thanks for the response, but this is in the Response header... I want to append the Request header

[@RedhwanNacef]

No problem. Ah okay, what is it you are trying to do at a higher level? I ask because in this context, kong is receiving the request so we are only dealing with the response. Any request headers would have been added by the client before sending. So I am a bit confused where you are trying to add a request header?

Unfortunately this is not working "plugin not found"

[@RedhwanNacef]

Happy to try help if you can share your code or provide some more information.

[@madeo111]

@@RedhwanNacef The code is exactly as yours, same configuration, I am using as well docker-compose and the version of the kong image is 2.4.1.0-alpine

[@madeo111]

@@RedhwanNacef The problem was that I was building the binary on Ubuntu, I had to build them in Alpine

It seems like I need to add a socket but I don't know where

[@RedhwanNacef]

No problem! I hope you found out how to resolve this one.
