TODO -- StripPrefix

Removing Prefixes From the Path Before Forwarding the Request {: .subtitle }

OldContent

Use a *Strip matcher if your backend listens on the root path (/) but should be routeable on a specific prefix. For instance, PathPrefixStrip: /products would match /products but also /products/shoes and /products/shirts.
Since the path is stripped prior to forwarding, your backend is expected to listen on /.
If your backend is serving assets (e.g., images or Javascript files), chances are it must return properly constructed relative URLs.
Continuing on the example, the backend should return /products/shoes/image.png (and not /images.png which Traefik would likely not be able to associate with the same backend).
The X-Forwarded-Prefix header (available since Traefik 1.3) can be queried to build such URLs dynamically.
