/**
 * HTTP Proxy Servlet
 * 
 * Provides the ability to submit a URL request via the Alfresco Server i.e.
 * the Alfresco server acts as a proxy.
 * 
 * This servlet accepts:
 * 
 * /proxy?endpoint=<endpointUrl>[&<argName>=<argValue>]*
 * 
 * Where:
 * 
 * - endpointUrl is the URL to make a request against
 * - argName is the name of a URL argument to append to the request
 * - argValue is the value of URL argument
 * 
 * E.g.:
 * 
 * /proxy?endpoint=http://www.alfresco.com&arg1=value1&arg2=value2
