Unable to use the route filter metadata

[Brunomachadob]

Describe the bug / error

I'm trying to query the route filter metadata, using the GetProperty function, based on the docs: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/advanced/attributes

The problem is that I can't get the values I would like from it, using the format I was expecting it to be :{"route_metadata", "envoy.lua", "authorization"} or {"route_metadata", "envoy", "lua", "authorization"}.
Just as a sanity check, {"request", "path"} works as expected.

If I query for the root route_metadata I get an weird string representation.
From the docs, I believe that should be a map or structured values are converted to a sequence of pairs recursively. but apparently it is none of those. I've tried unmarshal the bytes to a map, also without success.

Please check the code and logs bellow.

Would this be a bug or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

maybe you want to take a look at #310

[mathetake]

as for the list types, I see that Envoy always returns NotFound, which I think is a bug of Envoy.

Nice, thanks!
I'll take a look and test this
