I am attempting to combine proxying with GETs & PUTs, but I am a novice at proxying, so I would appreciate any help you can offer. The scenario is: Client requests are handled by my own resource class, which is (in theory) installed as the root resource (an extension of HTTPResource or FileResource). To process a request, the resource decides whether to GET or PUT the file, or to perform some other action, based on external criteria. If the URL points to a foreign server, the GET/PUT is referred there, where a "pure" Jigsaw (without my extensions) will hopefully handle the request, using FileResource's GET or PUT method. As a novice to proxying in Jigsaw, my questions are: can my new resource invoke jigsaw's proxying capabilities in the middle of an ongoing request (when a foreign server is indicated), and if so, what actions are required? And would the original request create a new GET/PUT request on-the-fly for the foreign Jigsaw, or can it just redirect itself to the foreign Jigsaw? -- Thanks in advance, Gordon Dakin
