Hi, Iam new to kong and I am using kong version 0.12.1, hereby I am aware with kong api. I able to make call to my desired url using upstream url in kong proxy with the host header which is created in kong-admin, e.g method GET, url `https:kong-proxy.com/api/controllerMethod`, header HOST: `https://example.com/`, it can call the URL as `https://example.com/api/controllerMerthod` it is working fine,  
but my expectation is when I access the url using above method, it should calls only `https://example.com`  
is there any possibilities to execute this  
Your suggestions are much appreciated… Thank you

Hi

Make sure you have strip\_uri checked. This will ensure that the uri is stripped and the backend url is called as is mentioned in the upstream url that is calling it.

Hope this helps.
