Description

I think it would make sense to add support for reverse proxy operation in camel-netty4-http.

With it one can have Camel act as a HTTP proxy perform some transformation/mediation/routing and make it easy to include in the architecture without much changing the client or the service.

Perhaps adding a new protocol scheme proxy would be a good start, so the endpoint URI would look something like netty-http:proxy://0.0.0.0.

I can work on a pull request to showcase this feature.
