Hi JB,

I will have a look at the Karaf ProxyService if it fits the need.
What I need to do is to create proxies dynamic and programmatic on
runtime on special user behaviour.
Some of that proxies need to choose the redirect URI by some other
information about the client.
So the real proxy target varies.
Think about a reverse proxy that redirects to different targets based
on session information.
It already works using the proxy base class provided by Jetty.

Jetty Proxy depends on Jetty Client, Jetty Server, and all the
external dependencies Jetty is using.
I could embed Jetty Proxy to every bundle that uses it but this will
increase every bundle.
And I still risk that Jetty Proxy version X does not work correctly
with Jetty Proxy version Y.
If Jetty Proxy itself does not depend on any other Jetty package and
is just a standard servlet I will check again. At least the feature
verification of a feature uses jetty proxy also depends on other jetty
bundles.

What's the problem with adding a jetty-proxy feature to the standard
distribution that adds that one jetty bundle and depends
(dependency=true) on e.g. the jetty feature.
I see you don't use that bundle yourself but it will prevent anyone
that would like to use Karaf and jetty-proxy to align the versions.
And all the ones that don't need the feature just don't need to
install it (as any other).

Best regards,
Markus
