Proxy

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.

Request your server, fetch the proxy URL you typed and return.

Configuration

Configuration:

• Key: proxy
• Environment: development
• Location: ./config/environments/development/security.json
• Type: string

Example:

{
  "proxy": "http://mycdn.com"
}

Notes:

• The string will fetch the host and return. For example, when you request http://localhost:1337/users, it will fetch http://mycdn.com/users and return.
• Set to false to disable the proxy security.
