Could you clarify what you're actually looking to do?

This already exists within sanic: https://sanic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/sanic/api/core.html#sanic.response.redirect

Actually controlling the behavior of a proxy server is outside of scope of sanic, however you could, I suppose, write a passthrough method. Then you're proxying sanic to the proxy server to return a response which is very meta.
