proxy

• A plugin that allows applications to dynamically respond to proxied requests by detecting forwarded host/uri headers and setting the session domain, default host, and relative url root. The plugin adds this functionality to calls to url_for, named route helpers, and view url helpers while still allowing you to specifically set the :host and :only_path options to override this behavior.
