Provide a proxy server

[jeff-zucker]

NSS provides a proxy server at https://solidcomunity.net/proxy?uri=SOME_URI. This feature is needed to prevent blocking of request because of CORS issues. Some examples of data that often can not be obtained from a client-side script without a proxy - RSS/Atom feeds, some ontologies, some specifications.

Could you point me where does this endpoint is implemented in NSS or tell me what needs to be done ?
Is it just fetching a URI given in parameter and rendering it directly ?

There is no endpoint. It is a GET.
