AJAX proxy: URL format and examples
The AJAX proxy can be addressed via URLs that comply with the REST-based URL format...
protocol://portal-domain/proxyurl/protocol/host/port/url?query
The proxy URL carries the target URL in its path information part. Depending on the context path mapping in the proxy configuration, the target URL can be an absolute or relative URL. These examples show how we can load a URL via the proxy depending on the context path mapping in the proxy configuration.
