            "/": {

            },
            "/local": {
                "remote": "127.0.0.1:8000"
            },
            "/google": {
                "remote": "google.com:80"
            },
            "/gunicorn": {
                "remote": "gunicorn.org:80",
                "rewrite_response": true

                "ssl": true,
                "rewrite_response": true

$ hroute -s /tmp -w 3
