Description

Add proxy pass functionality to permit access to internal sites from the outside world.

Example:

I have a domain http://mydomain.com and I would like http://mydomain.com/extra to forward to the internal server.

In SME this is implemented using the db accounts, I'd rather prefer to move proxy pass configuration to a new db.

    my $db = esmith::AccountsDB->open_ro;

    foreach my $path ($db->get_all_by_prop(type => 'ProxyPass'))
    {
    my $key = $path->key;
    my $target = $path->prop('Target');
