kong-plugin-cookies-to-headers

A Kong plugin that will add Authorization header from cookie.

How it works

When enabled, this plugin will add new headers to requests based on set cookie. For example, if the cookie value is set like this

name=value
oauthtoken=13ca678d2aa8454599678e792266ea96

then the following headers would be added

Authorization   : Bearer 13ca678d2aa8454599678e792266ea96

Install

Install luarocks and run the following command

luarocks install kong-plugin-cookies-to-headers
