Answer by mikyll98 for Kong Ingress Controller: prevent stripping the path when routing the request to a service

Turns out the problem was that I had mistakenly created 2 routes:"weather" and "weather-route":

PS D:\kong-kubernetes> kubectl get ingressNAME            CLASS   HOSTS          ADDRESS     PORTS   AGEweather         kong    *              127.0.0.1   80      3h9mweather-route   kong    *              127.0.0.1   80      25m

Therefore, when editing "weather-route", even if I set konghq.com/strip-path to 'false', the other route rule had it set to 'true' and was getting applied earlier, causing the request to fail.

Removing it fixed the issue:

kubectl delete ingress weather

PS D:\kong-kubernetes> kubectl get ingressNAME            CLASS   HOSTS          ADDRESS     PORTS   AGEweather-route   kong    *              127.0.0.1   80      25m

HTTP request:

PS D:\kong-kubernetes> curl -i 127.0.0.1:80/weather/London{"cityName": "London (GB)","temperature": {"actual": 14.53,"min": 12.64,"max": 15.76    },"humidity": 79,"windSpeed": 5.66,"description": "scattered clouds","iconURL": "http://openweathermap.org/img/wn/03d@2x.png"}

A special thanks to Botje for making me notice the first most important issue :)
