====== How to set up the server as a proxy via contexts ======

  - Log in to the LSWS GUI. The default address is http://IP:7080
  - Go to Configuration -> Virtual Hosts and click on the Virtual Host that is going to be used as the proxy.
  - In the Virtual Host configuration, go to the External App tab and hit Add.
  - Select Web Server from the drop down list.
  - On the following page, fill in the following and hit Save:
    * Name - Any unique external app name.
    * Address - The IP:PORT or UDS socket of the backend server.
    * Max Connections - The maximum number of concurrent connections to this Web Server at any time.
    * Initial Request Timeout (secs) - The maximum time in seconds the server will wait for a response.
    * Retry Timeout (secs) - The period of time that the server waits before retrying a request.
  - After saving, go to the Context Tab and hit Add.
  - Select Proxy from the drop down list.
  - Fill in the following and hit Save:
    * URI - How users will access the web server. Example: /br/
      * Note: If a value other than ‘/’ is used, be sure that this directory also exists and is accessible on the backend web server.
    * Web Server - Be sure to select the one that was just created.
  - Once all of the previous steps have been completed, perform a Graceful Restart to have the changes take effect.

The URL for vhost/context should now act as a proxy from the External App Web Server that was just set up.
