See original GitHub issue

Changing the service url in a way like that requires adaption of project code (here: e.g. serviceUrl in manifest.json).

Using a proxy solution should not require any changes to actual project code since those changes could easily make it’s way into test/productive systems (and break things) and it’s just a hazzle to maintain…

A configurable proxy solution should allow for registration of

source path
target url
and may be some more… (see http-proxy-middleware)

In my opinion ui5-server should come with this feature since I believe that at least 90% of the people using it will need it. Supporting this might be crucial for the acceptance of ui5-server in general. What do you think?
