[undertow-dev] Using undertow client with proxy servers

[Kim Rasmussen]

Thanks Stuart,

I've created a JIRA issue to track it here:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/UNDERTOW-1138 Do you think it is something
you want to implement and have time to do within a reasonable timeframe ?
or should I try to get it done myself ?

Thanks
/Kim
