3 years ago After discussing both points, we decided to instead add documentation to im-docs for the proxy rules you'll need if you wish to host Bluegenes and the IM WS at the same address, as using a dedicated reverse proxy like NGINX should be more performant and reliable than doing this with Bluegenes' Jetty server.
Likewise, proxying requests from the SPA would incur a performance penalty that would likely outweigh any benefit.
If you're hosting Bluegenes and the Intermine web services on the same address, it's a bit of a handful configuring the proxy to redirect the right paths to the Intermine backend. Let's try to make Bluegenes handle the proxying instead.
Update: This is closely linked with proxying all browser client requests through the Bluegenes backend. We should also consider that.
