Is this a question?

pathRewrite is case sensitive. Is there a way to specify to ignoreCase?

Is this a bug report?

No

Is this a feature request?

No

Steps to reproduce

currently if we specify the pathRewrite object with key paths are '^/api/v1/CaseInSenSITIVEFragement' : '/api'

the proxy matches only if case sensitivity exactly matches... how to tell the proxy to ignore case...

[chimurai]

Instead providing an object you can provide a pathRewrite function in which can implement the behaviour you want.

Example:
https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/blob/master/recipes/pathRewrite.md#custom-rewrite-function

[ubreddy]

yes, but that rewrite function is only invoked on the path regex match...
if I need to have different functions for different paths, and the paths are case insensitive it becomes quite difficult.

e.g.
'^/api/v1' : fn1
'^/api/v2' : fn2 etc...
now if I need the paths to be case insensitive and also need different functions to be invoked... it does not work...
the only workaround is
'/.*' : universalFn

universalFn that has the knowledge of all paths and handles all of them.. it centralizes the logic than having a distributed way of localizing the login...

So you actually want case-insensitive keys. That smells like you are addressing a problem in the wrong place.
