Camel Netty Proxy example

This is an example of using the Apache Camel integration framework to create a HTTP proxy using the Camel Netty component.

Any request that is received using the HTTP PROXY protocol, i.e specifying the absolute form for the request target will be forwarded to the target service with the HTTP body converted to uppercase. The response from the target service will be processed by converting it to uppercase and returned to the client.

There is no support for HTTP over TLS (https) protocol in this example.
