if functioning as a reverse proxy for host1.foo.com,
with a backend target of backend.foo.com:8080, the
node proxy should only rewrite the redirect if it is
a redirect to somewhere on backend.foo.com:8080
auto host rewriting allows rewriting to work as expected in most
cases without extra cumbersome configuration
protocol rewriting allows node-http-proxy to be able to listen
over HTTPS and properly reverse-proxy to sites running over HTTP
(to avoid doing SSL twice)
