Description
Tuesday Feb 10, 2015 at 16:33 GMT
Originally opened as https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/16844
to enable simple proxying of single requests to an (internal) remote backend.
This has some security implications: What to do with cookies, authentication data, etc.? So, it may make sense to provide some safe-guards preventing people from simply relaying requests e.g. by requiring to whitelist potential targets in the configuration or something similar.
See the discussions in the original ticket spray/spray#145 and an existing PR spray/spray#764.
