proxy to pass on LDP commands

[bblfish]

Currently the proxy supports only GET requests.

The proxy also needs to be able to forward PUT, POST, DELETE, etc...

This means the proxy needs to be able to authenticate on a remote server, this can be complex to achieve right?

[bblfish]

yes, it means:

• the client needs to authenticate on the proxy ( a good thing probably so that only the local user uses our proxy )
• the proxy needs to be able to request resources as the user ( so the proxy needs to be able to open up connections with a private key of which the public key is in the users profile and which is controlled by the server ) - or we need to implement the secretary feature.

The above is a bit of work to do, yes.

If one user has a WebID with a browser certificate, will the cors proxy be able to fetch remote resources using this certificate? Can the proxy act like some kind of handshake intermediary?

Or the platform should add generated platform cert to any WebID it manages so that when an user auth to the proxy with the browser cert, the proxy can then authenticate to the remote resource with the corresponding private key it holds locally?
