ltngx-http

A sample HTTP proxy Lightning Component and JavaScript API.

##Description Provides a proxy for accessing HTTP (REST) APIs via a Lightning Component. A Visualforce page and component are leveraged to provide access, currently restricted in Lightning Components (as of Winter '16) due to the Content Security Policy (CSP).

A sample HTTP browser is provided as an example. The core component (c:http) can be used in other applications to provide event- and attribute-based access. Additionally, an API is provided for programmatic and/or command-line access.
