Calling a HTTP endpoint before calling APIKit router

Question

I am calling a HTTP endpoint before my message reaches the apikit:router.

By the time the message reaches the apikit:router, it has lost all the original HTTP headers. Because of that the router is not able to figure out the intended method.

Actually I am able to copy the inbound properties in a session variable, after the HTTP call I am able to revert them as outbound property. Then I have my api router in another flow, so the outbound property gets coverted to inbound property again. This solution works fine, but the flow looks pretty ugly. (as I had to do this copy for about 10 headers)

Is there any better workaround ? Also I am trying to avoid manually dealing with these headers.

Wrap the HTTP call within the enricher, it will preserve the http inbound properties and the payload of the original call. Like this,

<enricher target="#[flowVars.resultOfInnerHTTP] source="#[payload]">
  <http:request...../>
</enricher>
<apikit:router.../>
