Re: Reg: Reverse Proxy in IBMi

Hi Don,

Currently in our application we have two web services servers, one in IBMi
and another one in Java Windows. But most of the interfaces which are
interacting with our application, they don't want to hit multiple endpoints.

So to achieve this I am planning to build a Reverse proxy server which will
be shared to the interface, Interface will always come to reverse proxy and
based on the url we will redirect it to either IBMi or Windows.

Regards,
Suren
