})

async function handleRequest(request) {
  const urlObject = new URL(request.url)

  if (urlObject.pathname.endsWith('/') && urlObject.pathname !== '/') {
    urlObject.pathname = urlObject.pathname.slice(0, -1)
    return Response.redirect(urlObject.toString(), 301)
  }

  const host = urlObject.host

  try {
    const blogHost = "my-blog.feather.blog"
    const paths = ["blog", "_feather"]

    let url = new URL(request.url)

    const prevUrl = new URL(url)    
    
    if (
      paths.some((path) => urlObject.pathname === `/${path}` || 
      urlObject.pathname.startsWith(`/${path}/`))
    ) {        
      url.hostname = blogHost
    }

    let proxyRequest = new Request(url.toString(), request)
    proxyRequest.headers.set("X-Forwarded-Host", host)

    return fetch(proxyRequest)
  } catch (e) {    
    return await fetch(request);
  }
}
After adding the above code, click on “Save and Deploy”.

5. Go to Triggers and add the worker routes

We need two routes:
  1. /blog*
  1. /_feather*
 
For example, if you are trying to set up a subdirectory blog for feather.so domain, you would select the feather.so zone and add the required routes as shown in the below screenshots.
