Adding Relay Servers or Reverse Proxies

Once the installation of the Unwired Platform cluster is complete, install and configure either Relay Server or a reverse proxy, depending on the option you have selected during the design stage.

• Using Sybase Hosted Relay Service for Testing
  The Sybase Hosted Relay Service is an alternative to local Relay Server installation, for temporary use with development and test systems only. It is particularly suitable for a personal Unwired Platform system.
• Installing Relay Server for Production Environments
  A Relay Server supports most environments and application types, including those applications connecting as an HTTP client.
• Common Requirements of Reverse Proxies
  Reverse proxies used with Unwired Platform must comply with specific requirements for content encoding, HTTP headers, timeouts, and the URL passed to Unwired Platform.
• Using Apache Reverse Proxy for HTTP Clients
  For organizations with HTTP clients designed to consume Unwired Server services via scale-out nodes, you can optionally implement an Apache Reverse Proxy instead of a Relay Server in your production environment.
