Reverse proxies used with Unwired Platform must comply with
specific requirements for content encoding, HTTP headers, timeouts, and the URL passed to
Unwired Platform.
A
reverse proxy used with Unwired Platform must be a straight
pass-though proxy server. Ensure that any reverse proxy used:
- 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.
- Sets a timeout period, if used, that is greater than the timeout used by the
clients.
- Passes the resulting URL to Unwired Platform Runtime in the form,
http://Host_Name:Port_No.
