I'm yoinking the placeholder from my #4657 PR because I think we should get this in ASAP for v2.5.0 along with the new
vars
directive.Also, during testing while writing the docs, I realized we should reverse the
vars
directive sort order based on matchers; since this is a directive which overwrites existing values set by other previously run directives, we actually want the least-specific matcher to run first, and most-specific last, so that the most-specific is the last one to overwrites the value.For example, with this config:
Before this change, all requests would return
bar
, because the least specific matcher would run last, overwriting any more specific matcher. After the change,/path*
requests will correctly returnbaz
.
