+The following example demonstrates a forward proxy setup. Requests directed to 'example.com' will be forwarded, while all other requests will be denied. It's important to note that when operating a forward proxy, the paths attribute in the `HTTPServer` rule should be left empty. This is because, for HTTPS requests, the client initiates a `CONNECT` request which does not include a path.
+
+```yaml
+kind: HTTPServer
+name: httpserver
+port: 8088
+keepAlive: true
+https: false
+rules:
+  - host: 'example.com'
+    paths:
+      - backend: pipeline-forward
+
+---
+
+name: pipeline-forward
+kind: Pipeline
+
+filters:
+- name: forward-proxy
+  kind: SimpleHTTPProxy
+  serverMaxBodySize: -1
+```
+
+To test this forward proxy configuration, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8088 http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8088 curl https://example.com
+```
