The ForwardFrame is more adapted to this behaviour, you should attach it
to a FramedResource (the minimal resource accepting filters).
Maybe some other processing inside will be required, to rewrite the URL
sent to the origin server before forwarding it, in that case a
FooForwardFrame would be better.
The ProxyFrame is too specialized at... proxying.
