Configuring forward proxy feature in release 4.51.00

[ajay-1]

Hello,

The release notes for 4.51.00 https://docs.apigee.com/release/notes/45100-edge-private-cloud-release-notes#configure-forward-proxy... mentions a section for configure forward proxy but the documentation for the feature is slim. 

I'm assuming that the properties mentioned refer to target endpoint section for a proxy to use a forward proxy to invoke a target url through the proxy details provided in the properties files as shown below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<TargetEndpoint name="default">
    <PreFlow name="PreFlow">
        <Request/>
        <Response/>
    </PreFlow>
    <Flows/>
    <PostFlow name="PostFlow">
        <Request/>
        <Response/>
    </PostFlow>
    <HTTPTargetConnection>
        <URL>http://www.httpbin.org/get</URL>
        <Properties>
            <Property name="http.proxyHost">somehost</Property>
            <Property name="http.proxyPort">3128</Property> 
            <Property name="http.proxyUser">hello</Property>
            <Property name="http.proxyPassword">world</Property>
        </Properties>
    </HTTPTargetConnection>
</TargetEndpoint>

 While i wait for the devops team to create a sandpit deployment of 4.51.00, is there someone who has used this feature ? Can someone point me to the documentation on where, what and how to consume this feature?

I think the proxy forwarding was also in 4.50.07 or 08 >

But I'm not sure if this is the same - because in the links I gave you - you define the proxy forward on MP level with CWC. In 4.51 its more agile on the Proxy level, not for all the MP. Take a look on this, syntax seems to be similar:
