Hi all,

I need to set up a caching proxy to not work as a proxy, but rather to simply 
provide caching upon direct access. For example:

There's a Mediawiki installation running at http://mediawiki.mycompany.com
And I need to set up a proxy on an alternative port, 
http://mediawiki.mycompany.com:8080, which would do nothing but serve up the 
traffic from the default port, but cached (we aren't trying to cache the entire 
MediaWiki installation, but rather provide an alternative entry point for a 
specific use case).

I am having trouble figuring out what it would take to set up TrafficServer to 
do this. I set it up (Ubuntu Vivid, TS 3.2.4), but TS logs empty URLs 
(http:///<http://>) and of course fails to find them - presumably because it 
doesn't receive the customary proxy HTTP headers; so I hit 
http://mediawiki.mycompany.com:8080, and only get back 404s.

Is there an easy way to accomplish what I am looking to do? Here's the config I 
have right now.

In records.config (in addition to all the standard defaults):

CONFIG proxy.config.http.server_ports STRING 8080
CONFIG proxy.config.http.cache.http INT 1
CONFIG proxy.config.reverse_proxy.enabled INT 1
CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.remap_required INT 1
CONFIG proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr INT 1

And in remap.config:

reverse_map http://mediawiki.mycompany.com/  
http://mediawiki.mycompany.com:8080/

I have never set up a proxy before.

Any suggestions on what I need to do? Thanks.
