Requests to one of the proxy endpoints will be forwarded to the backend. When a
successful result is returned from the backend, content is extracted from the
body and sent to the client. The following proxy endpoints are available:

/json
All metadata is extracted from the backend response using
``exiftool -j -g -a -struct`` and returned to the client with
``Content-Type`` header set to ``application/json``.
/xmp
The ``xmp`` packet is extracted from the response and returned to the client
with ``Content-Type`` header set to ``application/rdf+xml``.
/preview
The first preview image is extracted from the backend response and returned
to the client as a JPEG image.
/pageimage/{N}
The Nth page image is extracted from the backend response and returned to the
client as a JPEG image. Index starts from ``0``.
