spring mvc rest service redirect / forward / proxy

You can mirror/proxy all requests with this:

private String server = "localhost";
private int port = 8080;

@RequestMapping("/**")
@ResponseBody
public String mirrorRest(@RequestBody String body, HttpMethod method, HttpServletRequest request) throws URISyntaxException
{
    URI uri = new URI("http", null, server, port, request.getRequestURI(), request.getQueryString(), null);

    ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity =
        restTemplate.exchange(uri, method, new HttpEntity<String>(body), String.class);

    return responseEntity.getBody();
}

This will not mirror any headers.
