Traefik ReplacePathRegex Documentation	In Traefik Proxy's HTTP middleware, ReplacePathRegex updates paths before forwarding requests, using a regex. Read the technical documentation.

The replacePathRegex middleware will:

• Replace the matching path with the specified one.
• Store the original path in an X-Replaced-Path header

Configuration Examples

# Replace path with regex
http:
  middlewares:
    test-replacepathregex:

# Replace path with regex
[http.middlewares]
  [http.middlewares.test-replacepathregex.replacePathRegex]
    regex = "^/foo/(.*)"
    replacement = "/bar/$1"

Configuration Options

Field	Description	Default	Required
regex	Regular expression to match and capture the path from the request URL.		Yes
replacement	Replacement path format, which can include captured variables. $1x is equivalent to ${1x}, not ${1}x (see Regexp.Expand), so use ${1} syntax.		No

!!! tip

Regular expressions and replacements can be tested using online tools such as [Go Playground](https://play.golang.org/p/mWU9p-wk2ru) or the [Regex101](https://regex101.com/r/58sIgx/2).

When defining a regular expression within YAML, any escaped character needs to be escaped twice: `example\.com` needs to be written as `example\\.com`.
