The RemoveHopByHopHeadersFilter GatewayFilter Factory

The RemoveHopByHopHeadersFilter GatewayFilter Factory removes headers from forwarded requests. The default list of headers that is removed comes from the IETF.

The default removed headers are:

  • Connection

  • Keep-Alive

  • Proxy-Authenticate

  • Proxy-Authorization

  • TE

  • Trailer

  • Transfer-Encoding

  • Upgrade

To change the removed headers, set the spring.cloud.gateway.filter.remove-non-proxy-headers.headers property to the list of header names to remove.
