### General
The StripPrefix middleware will:
- strip the matching path prefix.
- store the matching path prefix in a `X-Forwarded-Prefix` header.
The StripPrefix middleware strips the matching path prefix and stores it in a `X-Forwarded-Prefix` header.
!!! tip
Use a `StripPrefix` middleware if your backend listens on the root path (`/`) but should be routeable on a specific prefix.
Use a `StripPrefix` middleware if your backend listens on the root path (`/`) but should be exposed on a specific prefix.
### `prefixes`
The `prefixes` option defines the prefixes to strip from the request URL.
For instance, `/products` would match `/products` but also `/products/shoes` and `/products/shirts`.
For instance, `/products` also matches `/products/shoes` and `/products/shirts`.
Since the path is stripped prior to forwarding, your backend is expected to listen on `/`.
If your backend is serving assets (e.g., images or Javascript files), chances are it must return properly constructed relative URLs.
Continuing on the example, the backend should return `/products/shoes/image.png` (and not `/images.png` which Traefik would likely not be able to associate with the same backend).
The `X-Forwarded-Prefix` header can be queried to build such URLs dynamically.
If your backend is serving assets (e.g., images or JavaScript files), it can use the `X-Forwarded-Prefix` header to properly construct relative URLs.
Using the previous example, the backend should return `/products/shoes/image.png` (and not `/images.png`, which Traefik would likely not be able to associate with the same backend).
### `forceSlash`
_Optional, Default=true_
The `forceSlash` option ensures the resulting stripped path is not the empty string, by replacing it with `/` when necessary.
This option was added to keep the initial (non-intuitive) behavior of this middleware, in order to avoid introducing a breaking change.
It is recommended to explicitly set `forceSlash` to `false`.
