Description

As a user, I want to do some request transformations when using Apache APISIX, the major request transformations for me are:

1. Append Headers (don't override the existing ones)
2. Append Queries (don't override the existing ones)
3. Replace Queries (override existing ones)
4. Rename Headers/Queries

Background

The Proxy Rewrite Plugin right now only supports features below:

1. Rewrite HTTP Method
2. Replace Headers
3. Rewrite URI
4. Rewrite Scheme

It doesn't cover other common user scenarios, these features are useful, so it's worth extending this plugin.

Tasks

1. Coding: support Append mode
2. Coding: support operating queries
3. Coding: support Rename mode
4. Testing: design and write test cases to cover new features
5. Documentation: write docs to introduce new feeatures

Recommended Skills

1. OpenResty
2. HTTP
