HTTP Proxy

The HTTP proxy is a little different than the (default) TCP proxy. Under the covers, it's using go's net/http/httputil.ReverseProxy so that we can manipulate request/response headers and generally do layer 7-type things. We don't actually do any of that right now, but we could.

Planned features for the HTTP proxy include injecting X-Forwarded-* headers.

To use the HTTP proxy, keep the following notes in mind:

  1. The remote URL needs to be a full URL, including scheme (for example: http://apache:80, instead of apache:80).
  2. The HTTP proxy is a beta feature, many details are still in progress.
