Python Flask distinct two generics routes

Question

In python flask I have two routes with approximately the same behaviour to redirect on another service.

The first one is to redirect a generic request to another API.

@app.route('/factory/<path:url>', methods=['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'])
@cross_origin()
def request_factory(url: str):

    resp = manage_factory_message(request)
    return app.response_class(
         response=resp.content,
         mimetype=resp.headers['Content-Type'],
         status=resp.status_code
    )

And the second redirect also to another service but in charge of the documents.

@app.post('/factory/doc/<path:url>')
@cross_origin()
def upload_file_factory(url):

    resp = manage_factory_file_message(request)
    return app.response_class(
         response=resp.content,
         mimetype=resp.headers['Content-Type'],
         status=resp.status_code
    )

My problem is that the first route is always triggered but never the second as /factory/doc is include in /factory/<path:url>

Do you have an idea how to manage that ?

I can’t set the /doc before the /factory.

I tried to redirect to the second route if the key /doc was found in the url of the first route but without success.

Notice that /factory/doc/ and /factory/ has a common prefix, so the shortest one wins. If you set routes which does not have this relation than both or more can work.
