> Problem:
> A remote file fetched from Shindig's proxy currently can't load external resources using relative paths.
> For example, a request for the file 'asset' from 'http://shindig/gadgets/proxy?url=http://host/path/main&nocache=1&other=params' will hit 'http://shindig/gadgets/asset' rather than 'http://host/path/asset'. This is particularly painful for gadget developers who want to cache Flash content with dynamically loaded content.
> Solution:
> Add support for an alternative, "chained" proxy request syntax that appends the target URL to the path of Shindig's proxy servlet such as 'http://shindig/gadgets/proxy//http://host/path/main'. Additional request parameters could be tucked between '/proxy/' and the target URL (e.g. 'http://shindig/gadgets/proxy/nocache=1&other=params/http://host/path/main'). With this feature in place, a relative path referenced in a cached file will be gracefully resolved to the correct URL which is also cached.
