Overview: Reverse proxy behavior
Reverse proxies forward requests through distinct client-facing and server-facing connections.
The proxy receives one request and performs another operation toward the origin. Forwarded-address information preserves selected context, while buffering and timeouts affect delivery behavior. These pages explain those independent connection legs and the evidence needed to interpret a proxy-mediated Emby request.
Reverse proxies
A reverse proxy accepts a public-facing application request and makes a separate upstream request, translating endpoint and resource context according to its configured policy.Forwarded client addresses
Forwarded client-address metadata describes an earlier request path only when interpreted through trusted proxy context, separately from the origin’s actual socket peer.Proxy buffering and timeouts
Proxy buffering and timeout settings control progress between independent upstream and downstream connections, with finite storage and idle clocks distinct from a movie’s total duration.
