Hi Team,  
I am trying to add a custom plugin called forward-proxy docummented at

> **[tfabien/kong-forward-proxy](https://github.com/tfabien/kong-forward-proxy)**
>
> A Kong plugin that allows access to an upstream url through a forward proxy (eg. squid). - tfabien/kong-forward-proxy

I am creating a API with upstream URI as

http://{UPSTREAM HOST}:{UPSTREAM PORT}/soa-infra/resources/default/GetCustomerService/getcustomerprocess\_client\_ep\_rest/rest

Then i enabled the forward-proxy on this API

now the URI being passed to the SQUID server as

“/soa-infra/resources/default/GetCustomerService/getcustomerprocess\_client\_ep\_rest/rest”

which is missing the UPSTREAM HOST and UPSTREAM POST .

Any pointers on how to pass the upstream URI HOST and PORT to the SQUID as part of this plugin.

Hi @jitu - the Kong plugin you reference is maintained by a community member, not by a member of Kong Inc. As such, you may find it more productive to seek assistance on that plugin’s Github repo.
