Kong is returning a 308 insted of requesting the data to upstream server

1

I’m having a issue related to configuring a service and route.

Instead of querying the upstream server and proxying the response to the client, kong is returning a 308 with the location header set

Since i’m trying to access a k8s service without an ingress controller the client fails to get the response

Here’s my configuration (according to konga)

Service

{
  "read_timeout": 60000,
  "id": "65c7c8e1-6973-4c1f-b88c-8d6722232228",
  "path": "/api/v1",
  "host": "svc-name.service-namespace.svc.cluster.local",
  "write_timeout": 60000,
  "name": "k8s-backed-api",
  "tags": [],
  "tls_verify": null,
  "retries": 5,
  "tls_verify_depth": null,
  "client_certificate": null,

  "updated_at": 1639409534,
  "ca_certificates": null,
  "connect_timeout": 60000,
  "protocol": "http"
}

Route

{

  },

Turns out I was missing the ‘/’ at the end of the path
