# SailThru Proxy Server for iOS Universal Links

## What?

SailThu does not support universal links, so you cannot trigger yoru iOS apps to open via a SailThru email.  They lack HTTPS capabilties, and the ability to host an external file (the required `apple-app-site-association` file).  

But we can hack around this via some DNS tricks and this small server!  This app will be the real host for your company-specific CNAME to `http://cb.sailthru.com`, and it will pass all traffic to them as a proxy.

Now you can HTTPS-enable this application, and serve the requsite JSON payload... all while still tracking your Email clicks and relying on SailThru to respond with the proper URL re-write data and UTM* tracking variables!
