In the PDX blockchain hypercloud, it enables a blockchain node to have all of its HTTP & TCP endpoints behind this single "external" facing HTTP endpoint, so that firewall traversal is less painful.
The glob-matching whitelist approach effectively protects a node from inadvertently exposing unwanted services.
With rewrite, a node's internal network and endpoint details can be hidden from the outside world, which ensures flexibility on the node-side implementation.
