Description

Description

When the service architecture includes an API proxy, then links may need to be returned in the URL-space of the proxy rather than the URL-space of the OData service generating them.

This avoids having a rewriting proxy, which impedes latency.

Today, it's not clear how to do this centrally and easily.
The library should have this as a clear extension point that does not require copy paste of significant code from library source to the exension.

Research direction

Start by tracing where the OData service generates URLs in response headers and bodies, then identify the central extension point used by the library. Compare the generated service URL with the API proxy URL and define what a customizable solution must cover without copying library code.
