RE: [Myexperiment-discuss] proxy server?

[Don Cruickshank]

Hi Tony,

 

We don’t have a proxy server in the myExperiment codebase, but I’ve just written one for your codebase.  I’ve attached an app/controllers/proxy_controller.rb file and also you’ll need to add something like the following to your config/routes.rb file:

 

  # proxy route

  map.connect 'proxy', :controller => 'proxy', :action ="" 'proxy'

 

Needless to say, I recommend you clamp down on the kinds of requests that you let the server process otherwise it’s a security nightmare!

 

Regards,

Don.

Subject: [Myexperiment-discuss] proxy server?

 

Hi all, I've got my _javascript_ library for skua additions to myexp drafted but now need to be able to make a call from the client-side _javascript_ to the REST-based SKUA service. Since this will inevitably be cross-domain, it needs to be via a proxy server which is part of the myexp code. Does such a function exist at the moment? If (as I assume) not, and I need to direct the skua call via, say, /proxy?url="" does anyone have a pointer to sample (pref copy & paste) code I can use?

 

Thanks,

Tony.
