Nope. Client (user agent or proxy acting on its behalf) makes connection to what it thinks is a server. E.g.
<http://foo.bar.com/index.html>
But it happens to be reverse proxy, like nginx. Which forwards connection to actual http server in DMZ. E.g. to
service-bar.intranet:8765/fooApplication/index.html
The first connection is described as
origin
, the second as
local
. E.g. when you want to make external link and send it by email, you need to know how your application looks from the outer-net. That’s normally passed by proxy to application in additional headers.
