Hi,

In a Lua plugin it is possible to access the response body using the body\_filter method.

Is it possible to access it with a Go plugin? The documentation states that we can only define these event methods: Certificate, Rewrite, Access, Preread and Log. From those, only Log takes place after the request has been processed, and I can’t see any way to access the body with the API.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the super late response. I didn’t get any notification in the email.

I ended up creating a Lua plugin that sends the body to a go server sidecar, using a producer/consumer pattern, which actually does the job.
