Hey there,

I’m creating a service, lets call it “myapi”  
And i want two routes to access it, one which has a jwt plugin to require authentication:

- `/myapi`

And one which is open:

- `/myapi/api-doc`

The api itself exposes `/` and `/api-doc`.

If i create the routes with strip\_path (to not send `myapi` part to the api itself) on a single service, the `api-doc` part is obviously stripped as it matches the path of the route. This means that to access the `api-doc` part i have to do `/myapi/api-doc/api-doc` which is obviously not what i want.

Is the best way to solve this to create a service for each route?

All help appreciated 🙂

@jnatten I don’t think it’s currently possible with Kong. I’ve requested this feature, please vote/like it so we get Kong’s attention 😉 [Strip part of URI](https://discuss.konghq.com/t/strip-part-of-uri/2738)

Sounds like a plan 🙂

Had the same issue, since Kong does not natively support this, I described the workaround I used here: [Strip part of URI - #10 by rsemlal.tas](https://discuss.konghq.com/t/strip-part-of-uri/2738/10)
