/**
 * Node.js proxy for Saiku
 * Use this proxy to develop for the UI without having to install the server.
 * Requests will be proxied to demo.analytical-labs.com,
 * or a Saiku server installation of your choice.
 * 
 * To play with the chaos monkey, set the CHAOS_MONKEY environment variable
 * to anything (Preferably a nice name for your chaos monkey).
 * 
 * To start the server, run `node server.js [port] [backend_host] [backend_port]`
