Experiments with proxying all api requests through another app...
What it does:
If you send param of prefetch=item, and the response looks like HAL, it will fetch a full representation of the object at _embedded[item] and replace the current representation with whatever is the result of a GET _embedded[item][_links][self].
This is based on an original concept seen in: http://vimeo.com/49609648
All other requests will pass through to the original app you point this proxy to, rewriting all urls in the response to hit the proxy.
set ENV['PROXY_TARGET'] && ENV['PROXY_URL']
(why?)
- put analytics here
- rate limiting logic: https://github.com/postrank-labs/goliath/blob/master/examples/auth\_and\_rate\_limit.rb
- embed at this level - composing smaller already cached components, rather than fresh renders
