Question: Generic cluster for DispatchHttpCall?

[jonfriesen]

I'd like to make calls using proxywasm.DispatchHttpCall(...) to various URLs. Is it possible to have a cluster in the envoy config that will use the :authority header and forward the request on?

I was exploring something like:

  clusters:
  - name: dynamic_forward_proxy_cluster
    lb_policy: CLUSTER_PROVIDED
    cluster_type:
      name: envoy.clusters.dynamic_forward_proxy
      typed_config:
        "@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.clusters.dynamic_forward_proxy.v3.ClusterConfig
        dns_cache_config:
          name: dynamic_forward_proxy_cache_config
          dns_lookup_family: V4_ONLY

but end up getting errors like:

[debug][router] [source/common/router/router.cc:514] [Tags: "ConnectionId":"0","StreamId":"1203041025397599499"] cluster 'dynamic_forward_proxy_cluster' match for URL '/post'

with headers like:

	hs := [][2]string{
		{"accept", "*/*"},
		{":authority", "httpbin.org"},
		{":method", "POST"},
		{":path", "/post"},
		{":scheme", "http"},
		{"Content-Type", "application/json"},
	}
