I think this feature request will become more relevant everyday with the current uprise in Single Page Applications (SPAs).

The purpose of a reverse proxy in such a scenario is quite simple;

Lets say for example, you have a SPA running on localhost:8080, you may want to point any /api/ requests to either localhost:8100/api for local development or to mytestserver.com/api for test development.

I would suggest such a feature would have its own tab in the settings for the site / app /service

I tried to upload an image, but the button doesnt seem to work.

Just a thought, this is achievable via the web config and the URL rewrite module.

How do I use a web.config with the tool?

Hi there!

Thank you much for your suggestion. We had a stand-along reverse proxy product that we have discontinued due to low level of interest from the community. While this is an important feature for some users, it didn't seem to be understood by many and therefore it withered on the vine. In the future we may revive it as a service hosted by either AWS or Azure, with the proxy itself still deployed inside users local networks.

Best regards,

It's possible, as long you are using ASP.NET features, rather than IIS features, in the .config. For example, HttpModule doing url rewriting should be configured in non-iis-specific section of web.config.
