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.
