It would be useful for this API server to redirect requests that it cannot handle (using an appropriate HTTP response code) to an upstream server.

Examples of such requests include:

  • Requests for data that is not present in the datastore, e.g., GPS traces, or user data.
  • Requests that would modify the data, e.g., requests to the /create URIs or POST requests to URIs.

This feature would allow this API server to act as a fast and scalable "front end" for the current OSM API server.
