URI Schemes

Use this policy to bridge the transport protocols between the client and the gateway.

This policy specifies the protocol used for incoming requests to the API. If your native API requires clients to communicate with the server over HTTP or HTTPS, you can configure the allowed URI schemes to ensure that requests use the required protocols.

For example, you have a native API that is made available over HTTPS and an API that receives requests over HTTP. If you want to make the API available to the consumers through HTTP, then you configure the incoming protocol as HTTP.

In IBM API Studio, URISchemes denotes the policy kind for enabling HTTP/HTTPS.

Example of a URI Schemes policy:

kind: URISchemes
apiVersion: api.ibm.com/v1
metadata:
  name: URI
  namespace: wm_policies
  version: '1.0'
  tags: []
  description: ''
spec:
  uriSchemes:
    - http
    - https

For the URISchemes policy kind, configure these specifications:

Property	Description
spec	Denotes the various specifications that you can configure for this policy. uriSchemes. Specifies the protocol to be used to accept and process the requests. http. Specifies the acceptance criteria for routing requests through the HTTP protocol. https. Specifies the acceptance criteria for routing requests through the HTTPS protocol.
