Istio Authorization Policy Path ending slash

Security
1

I am playing with authorization policies within Istio and noticed that slashes matter at the end of my path for an ALLOW policy for example.

if in my policy I have ALLOW “/api/dogs”
then /api/dogs will of course work, but /api/dogs/ will not

Is there anyway to ignore the ending slash? I know that I can put 2 entries in my path, one with a slash, one without, but that seems like a lot of overhead for all of my endpoints.

Thank you!

Even if ‘thats the only way to do it’ is the answer, im fine with that, I would just like someone to confirm for me. Thanks again!

yeah, that’s actually the only way to do it for now, we don’t have an option to ignore the last ending slash.
