VERIFY THAT REQUESTS TO A SERVICE ARE CACHED IN KONG FOR A SPECIFIC CONSUMER

Configure Proxy-Cache on a Consumer

You can use the http://localhost:8001/plugins endpoint to enable this plugin on specific Consumers:

http post localhost:8001/consumers/Jason/plugins \

name=proxy-cache \

config:='{"strategy": "memory"}'

Response

The response should look similar to this:

HTTP/1.1 201 Created

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Connection: keep-alive

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

{

"config": {

"cache_control": false,

"cache_ttl": 300,

"content_type": [

"application/json"

"memory": {

"dictionary_name": "kong_cache"

"request_method": [

"GET",

"HEAD"

"response_code": [

200,

301,

404

"strategy": "memory"

"consumer_id": "1264dcd7-1525-4272-90ab-aa17785e7811",

"created_at": 1544596921000,

"enabled": true,

"id": "1303a04a-c0dd-4874-8af5-866bbad28b73",

"name": "proxy-cache"

}

⁠

Note: Alternative Configurations

You can also apply the plugin using the custom_id instead of the username.

curl -X POST

http://localhost:8001/⁠

consumers/{id}/plugins \

--data "name=proxy-cache" \

--data "config.strategy=memory" \

--data "config.content_type=application/json"

Where consumer_id is the id of the Consumer we want to associate with this plugin. You can combine consumer_id and service_id in the same request, to furthermore narrow the scope of the plugin.
