Introduction​

Apache has grown as a community from the first day of open source and has quickly become the most active open source API gateway project in the world. These achievements cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of our community partners.

Issue #6923​

Link: https://github.com/apache//issues/6923

Issue description:

As a user, I want to let api-breaker plugin return the default response body. Refer to the document api-breaker, when upstream is in the unhealthy state, the api-breaker returns unhealthy.http_statuses only, without a response body.

In order to be more compatible to the client, return a default response body is useful.
