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.

"If you want to go fast, go alone.If you want to go far, go together." The Apache Community Weekly Report hopes to help community members better understand the weekly progress of the Apache community and and facilitate everyone to participate in the Apache community.

We have also compiled some issues suitable for newcomers to the community to participate in! If you are interested, don't miss it!

Issue description:

Sometimes the full CI "linux_openresty"

- linux_openresty

takes 50 minutes to complete.

Let's split it into multiple parts so the max single job time can be reduced.

We can pass an environment variable as the test file range in

 FLUSH_ETCD=1 PERL5LIB=.:$PERL5LIB prove -Itest-nginx/lib -r t

Issue #5900​

Link: https://github.com/apache//issues/5900

Issue description:

When using base-auth plugins, I don't want to pass the Authentication header to upstream. IMO, there is no need for upstream to perceive these authentication headers.

Now, I use proxy-rewrite plugin to rewrite the Authentication head like this:

 "plugins": {        "basic-auth": {},        "proxy-rewrite": {            "headers": {                "Authorization": ""            }        }    },

I think we can add a config in the basic-auth plugin to hide the auth head.

That will be more convenient in using these plugins. So do key-auth plugin.
