Not sure if this is a bug or an unsupported feature in 8.0. I’m trying to implement the URL Proxy feature with the following line in the ignition.conf file:

wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dvision.urlproxy.enabled=true

I get the following error when trying to use the proxy:  
HTTP ERROR 500  
Problem accessing /system/urlproxy. Reason:

```
Server Error

```

The code to enable this is still live, so if it’s not working it’s probably related to some of the changes we did to the gateway webserver around things like system commissioning. I’ll file a bug ticket, although I’ll start with a disclaimer - it is possible we’ll remove this feature entirely from 8.0, since it is a _huge_ security hole.

@plarochelle It looks like this is back to working - I think the root cause was related to removing the `/main` redirect in our code. If you use a URL with just `/system/urlproxy?url=` it seems to work just fine, eg:  
`http://localhost:8088/system/urlproxy?url=http://google.com`

Could you test again and let me know if you’re still having issues?
