Reverse Proxies

Requirements for third party reverse proxies for use with Sybase Unwired Platform.

The reverse proxy must be a straight pass-though proxy server. Ensure the reverse proxy meets these requirements:

• Does not change the content encoding of the requests or responses. Chunked transfer encoding is the required data transfer mechanism. Content-length encoding is not supported.
• Does not remove any HTTP headers.
• The timeout period (if any) must be greater than the timeout used by the clients.
• The resulting URL that is passed to the Sybase Unwired Platform must be http://HostName/[public/]<AppID>, where [public] is optional and if included anonymous connection is allowed. Example, http://suphost/public/empDir.
