REST Invocation Issue with Proxy Services
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: SYNAPSE-412
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-412
             Project: Synapse
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transports
            Reporter: Saliya Ekanayake
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: 20080729_fix.patch

A proxy service in Synapse (say, myproxy) can be accessed via an HTTP GET call. This, \
however, requires the user to type in the operation name after the proxy name (e.g. \
http://localhost:8280/services/myproxy/mediate). If given the proxy name only it'll \
show the information on the service. This approach incurs errors when the actual \
request we want to send to the back end doesn't require a method name.

Consider an example where a user wants to get a file hosted in the back end server \
via a proxy service in Synapse. If he/she creates a simple proxy service as in sample \
150 to do this, the actual URI send to the back end consists of the resource name \
followed by the method name (if no WSDL is given this method name will be "mediate"). \
This will not serve the user with his/her resource, instead will return an error.

We can overcome this issue by letting a user invoke a proxy service by its name (or a \
method name followed by the name if necessary). The information on the service is \
shown only if the user types the "?info" parameter after the service name. So with \
this fix the information on our sample proxy service can be retrieved by entering \
http://localhost:8280/services/myproxy?info into the browser. The service can be \
accessed by entering http://localhost:8280/services/myproxy into the browser.
