# Workaround to have a working reverse-proxy that matches an URL does URL rewriting in Ligghtpd.
#
# Ligtthpd 1.4.28 cannot perform both matching and URL rewriting at the same time.
# Therefore we need to define 2 proxies, one does the matching and bounce the request 
# to the other one, in charge of rewriting the URL before proxying the request to the target server.
#
# More about this here:
