> Hi,
> When setting up forward proxy on TS, currently it is required to set
> proxy.config.url_remap.remap_required INT 0
> This is a bit obscure, and makes it more difficult for people who only work with TS on an occasional basis to guess at the config option.
> I think having an option like
> proxy.config.forward_proxy.enable
> or
> proxy.config.http.forward.enable (so it's similar to proxy.config.http.forward.proxy_auth_to_parent)
> would be better.
> It might be a good idea (at least for a period) to have both options, so as not to break existing configurations.
> If it is decided not to change the config option, as a minimum, it would be nice to have a comment in the configuration file saying something like 'this needs to be set to 0 to enable forward proxying'.  This would allow for people to search the config file for the word 'forward'.
> Cheers,
> Marcus.
