Can I forward the request from Kong server to my own servlet?

Question

I added my api to Kong like

curl -i -X POST \
 --url http://localhost:8001/apis/ \
 --data 'name=nirmal2' \
 --data 'target_url=http://localhost:8080/switch/apikongcall.do' \
 --data 'public_dns=mockbin10.com'

targer url is my servlet running on apache tomcat

When I am trying to verify whether kong is hitting my servlet like

curl -i -X GET \
 --url http://localhost:9023/ \
 --header 'Host: mockbin10.com'

It can not recognize the resource. Should'nt it hit my servlet?

Answer 1

In your last command, are you sure the Kong API port is running on 9023 ?

By default it runs on 8000 :

Try with:

curl -i -X GET \
 --url http://localhost:8000/ \
 --header 'Host: mockbin10.com'
