hi,

Given a simple service running in a docker container which return `foo` for a get request at /  
I want this service to be accessed from `https://api.foo.com/bar`

This actually reach the service:  
`- traefik.http.routers.fooservice.rule=Host(`api.foo.com`) && PathPrefix(`/bar`)"`

But then I get an error message saying the service does not have a route for /bar  
Basically the request actually reach the service, but not as root / but as /bar

I have tried to use  
` "traefik.http.middlewares.fooservice-stripprefix.stripprefix.prefixes=/bar"`

but didnt seem to do much.  
Did I miss something?

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

Could provide a reproducible example? (small docker-compose file)

ok I fixed the problem.  
I misunderstood how chaining middleware worked and https middleware was the only one used - and `stripprefix.prefixes=/bar` was not used.
