Conditional streaming in Apigee

Google Cloud Apigee
1

Hello,
I am facing some problems when dealing with streaming in my Apigee (Edge) proxy.

I need streaming to be enabled for 2 of my endpoints (let’s say POST file and GET file).
For another endpoint which is not related to files, I need to access and process payload (just a lightweight JSON) in Target Endpoint.

I did the following:

  • 1 proxy endpoint, with streaming enabled both on request and response
  • 1 target endpoint for file operations, with streaming enabled
  • 1 target endpoint without streaming for others endpoints

My problem is that when I try to access the payload in the target endpoint without streaming, it is empty. And if I disable streaming at proxy endpoint level, it do not handle heavy file anymore.

How could I implement such conditional streaming ?

Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Separate proxies?

/basepath → for proxy bundle #1, with streaming enabled

/basepath/upload → for proxy bundle #2, with no streaming

Or, you could chain proxies .

proxy1 = with streaming enabled.

target1 => points directly to the target

target2 => points to another proxy (proxy 2), which is a passthrough, and THAT proxy points to the target. In proxy2 you can have no streaming, and can manipulate the payload.
