The Proxy module

The module proxies HTTP requests to the specified endpoint. For this purpose, an additional X-Targeted-Forheader is used in the requests. The headers X-Targeted-Username and X-Targeted-Password are used for login and password in Digest authentication.

For example:

BASH

curl -k --request POST \
    --url 'http://192.168.200.31:8776/onvif/event_service' \
    --header 'X-Targeted-For: http://192.168.204.25:80' \
    --header 'X-Targeted-Username: user' \
    --header 'X-Targeted-Password: 456789' \
    --header 'Accept: */*' \
    --header 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8' \
    --header 'Host: 127.0.0.1'
    --data '{"message": "Hello"}'

This request is the same as if the client directly contacted the host:

BASH

curl -k --request POST \
    --url 'http://192.168.204.25:80/onvif/event_service' \
    --header 'Accept: */*' \
    --header 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8' \
    --header 'Host: 127.0.0.1'
    --data '{"message": "Hello"}'

The configuration of Proxy is detailed in the Configuration of Mediaserver documentation section.
