Kong version: 2.2.1 here is my service ```auto { "host": "authentication-service.hostelworld.com.docker.test.hostelworld.com", "id": "7c392680-4133-4f3e-933e-dabf8fca7b52", "protocol": "http", "read_timeout": 60000, "tls_verify_depth": null, "port": 80, "updated_at": 1610476434, "ca_certificates": null, "created_at": 1610475201, "connect_timeout": 60000, "write_timeout": 60000, "name": "auth", "retries": 5, "path": "/authentication", "tls_verify": null, "tags": [ "testing" ], "client_certificate": null } ``` and here is the route for the service above ```auto { "next": null, "data": [ { "strip_path": true, "path_handling": "v1", "paths": null, "destinations": null, "headers": null, "protocols": [ "http", "https" ], "tags": [ "testing" ], "created_at": 1610475310, "request_buffering": true, "service": { "id": "7c392680-4133-4f3e-933e-dabf8fca7b52" }, "name": "auth", "updated_at": 1610476202, "methods": [ "POST" ], "preserve_host": false, "regex_priority": 0, "response_buffering": true, "sources": null, "id": "279741de-2a29-4f34-9874-887265c7a8a1", "https_redirect_status_code": 426, "snis": null, "hosts": null } ] } ``` and the request ```auto curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8000/v1/authentication/access-token' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "grant_type": "password", "username": "user", "password": "password", "client_id": 1, "client_secret": "testtest" }' ``` I have nay plugin associated with this service/route ---

I dont know why but it is working without the path in the service, so my request now is POST [http://localhost:8000/access-token](http://localhost:8000/access-token), but I want POST [http://localhost:8000/authentication/access-token](http://localhost:8000/authentication/access-token) Any idea? Another thing is, why is it ignoring the Path handling which is v1 ? ```auto { "next": null, "data": [ { "host": "authentication-service.hostelworld.com.docker.test.hostelworld.com", "id": "7ccc6114-5b26-4af6-bd19-49356dd5729d", "protocol": "https", "read_timeout": 60000, "tls_verify_depth": null, "port": 443, "updated_at": 1610576708, "ca_certificates": null, "created_at": 1610563511, "connect_timeout": 60000, "write_timeout": 60000, "name": "authentication-service", "retries": 5, "path": "/", "tls_verify": null, "client_certificate": null, "tags": null } ] } ``` route ```auto { "next": null, "data": [ { "strip_path": true, "tags": null, "updated_at": 1610576253, "destinations": null, "headers": null, "protocols": [ "http", "https" ], "id": "f7583dc7-6680-43dd-bac2-970b967ba877", "created_at": 1610564205, "request_buffering": true, "hosts": null, "name": "authentication-service-test", "methods": [ "POST" ], "service": { "id": "7ccc6114-5b26-4af6-bd19-49356dd5729d" }, "preserve_host": false, "regex_priority": 0, "response_buffering": true, "sources": null, "paths": null, "https_redirect_status_code": 426, "path_handling": "v1", "snis": null } ] } ``` ---

So far I have seen that, you are update `service.path`, whereas you should update`route.path`. `ROUTE` is the entry point for your gateway, which may forward request to any upstream service, at any `service.path`. Once you have set `route.path` to `v1/authentication`, as suggested before - this will be used as entry point to gateway.
