Is it possible to use cy.intercept to redirect to different host?

[Maxim-Filimonov]

I have a mock backend server I would like to use to handle requests in tests using cy.intercept functionality. The mock backend server matches exactly the same routes as normal one but it sits on different URL. I looked into req.direct in the RouteHandler interface but I'm not able to specify method there.

cy.intercept(
    {
      method: options.withRequest.method,
      url: 'http://0.0.0.0:8989' + urlToMatch,
    },
    (req) => {
      // this turns into GET and I want keep it the same somehow.
      req.redirect(
        `http://${server.host}:${server.port}${options.withRequest.path}`,
      );
  })

Any ideas?

Sometimes writing a question is enough. 5 min after posting this I had a realisation that its way simpler than I was thinking:

 cy.intercept(
    {
      method: options.withRequest.method,
      url: urlToMatch,
    },
    (req) => {
      req.url = `http://${server.host}:${server.port}${options.withRequest.path}`;
      req.continue();
    },
  ).as(options.as);
