Traefik StripPrefix Documentation	In Traefik Proxy's HTTP middleware, StripPrefix removes prefixes from paths before forwarding requests. Read the technical documentation.

The stripPrefix middleware strips the matching path prefix and stores it in an X-Forwarded-Prefix header.

!!! tip

Use a `StripPrefix` middleware if your backend listens on the root path (`/`) but should be exposed on a specific prefix.

Configuration Examples

# Strip prefix /foobar and /fiibar
http:
  middlewares:
    test-stripprefix:
      stripPrefix:
        prefixes:
          - "/foobar"
          - "/fiibar"

# Strip prefix /foobar and /fiibar
[http.middlewares]
  [http.middlewares.test-stripprefix.stripPrefix]
    prefixes = ["/foobar", "/fiibar"]

# Strip prefix /foobar and /fiibar
labels:
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-stripprefix.stripprefix.prefixes=/foobar,/fiibar"
