------------------------------------------------------------

Kevin Minder While we were under the mission of delivering the UI work through Knox with limited time constrain, redirecting was the only solution that we found currently would fit the situation.  We felt the PAIN while implementing this.  And we see that this could not be sustainable.   We have this picture of Knox being the centralized (client) proxy, not only for REST calls, or UIs but also possible extend to other protocols, e.g. IPC/RPC, JDBC.  Extending Knox to support all the UIs is only the first step.  We can certainly talk about this more in details.  With the current Knox framework, what would be your idea in order to support UIs going through Knox proxy?   If there is no good Java based streaming JavaScript parser as you also noted, this is the only solution that we can think of.

> Today Knox supports authentication and service level authorization for rest APIs.   We have a need to have all of the user interfaces to also go through Knox.  So that Knox can become the single hub for all https communications including both UIs and rest calls.
