title: Is there a way to proxy a request using Zuul before hitting other Filters?
body: <p>I am building a simple API gateway application in which I am proxying my requests to another service using the <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/zuul" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Zuul library</a>. Apart from the Zuul library, I am using another library containing a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/Filter.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Filter</code></a> which is being hit before the request being proxied by Zuul and this is causing undesired behaviour.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to proxy a request using Zuul before hitting other Filters?</p>
  <p>I tried to make use of the <a href="https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-netflix/multi/multi__router_and_filter_zuul.html#zuul-developer-guide-sample-pre-filter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pre filter</a> to try to find a way to skip the other library's filter but this still gets executed after the other filter.</p>
  <p>Is there a way around this using any configuration from Zuul? The only option which I am thinking of right now is to create a Filter superseding the other library's one in order to bypass the filter or else proxying the request myself without passing through Zuul.</p>
