ProxyContributor
Also known as "XDI-to-XDI connector".
This contributor can satisfy an XDI request by forwarding it to another XDI endpoint. The XDI request as well as its response may be manipulated in this process, depending on the configuration of the contributor.
This can be used for a variety of purposes:
- Logical separation of XDI2 servers without persistence layer ("business servers") from XDI2 servers with persistence layer ("graph servers")
- Various gatekeeping/firewalling/proxying/auditing scenarios, in which an intermediate XDI2 server pre-processes an XDI request before passing it on the actual intended target XDI2 server.
- Configuration of highly specialized XDI2 servers, e.g. for caching or signing purposes.
