Http-Proxy Overview

The Http-Proxy is a forward HTTP proxy to allow cross origin calls to external servers. Clients, that are seeking resources from a particular server (like a web page for example), send the requests to the Proxy instead directly to the server. The main role of this component is to intercept these client's requests and provide a mechanism that evaluate them in terms of permissions. In order to accomplish this task, it is necessary to configure correctly an Http-Proxy's configuration file, specifying a list of host names, mime types, methods and requests that a client is allowed to do.
