Description

The lack of a home or landing page for Knox leaves users without a well-known place to discover the URLs for the various UIs and APIs that are being exposed for access by the gateway.

This results in the need for QuickLinks in management applications like Ambari and Cloudera Manager to be rewritten to express the proxied URLs. This also results in the need for users to have to continue to go to these management applications for end-user URLs which is often not even appropriate.

This proposal is for adding a Home page to Apache Knox which will present the various URLs in ways that are intuitive for being able to consume the proxied resources.
