Proxy a URL through a Datasette instance

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.
```bash
datasette install datasette-proxy-url
```
## Usage

This plugin can be configured to set specific paths within Datasette to proxy content from another URL.

Configure the plugin like this:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"datasette-proxy-url": {
"paths": [
{"path": "/proxy", "backend": "http://example.com/"},
]
}
}
}
```
Now any request to `/proxy` will serve the HTML content from `http://example.com/`.

The `content-type` response header and the content body will be passed through. All other headers are currently ignored.

## Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:
```bash
cd datasette-proxy-url
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
```bash
pip install -e '.[test]'
```
To run the tests:
```bash
pytest
```
