Reverse proxies that are used with SAP Mobile Platform must comply with specific requirements for content
encoding, HTTP headers, timeouts, and the URL that is passed to SAP Mobile Platform.
A reverse proxy that is used with
SAP Mobile Platform must be a straight
passthrough proxy server. Ensure that any reverse proxy used:
- Does not change the content encoding of requests or responses.
Chunked transfer encoding is the required data transfer mechanism.
Content-length encoding is not supported.
- Does not remove any HTTP headers.
- Sets a timeout period, if used, that is greater than the timeout
used by the clients.
- Passes the resulting URL to SAP Mobile Platform Server in
the form http://Host_Name:Port_No.
