How is the ClientLibraryProxyServlet used?

In 5.6, there was a client lib proxy servlet called ClientLibraryProxyServlet added. According to http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6/release_notes/wcm.html#par_text_7 it says "GRANITE-1666 - Clientlibrary: New Proxy Servlet to serve client libs hosted under /libs and /apps". Is this something that is automatically working or is there some special configuration needed. We are using 5.6.1, and it did not seem to be working.

    Here is some information that I received:

    The purpose is to serve client libs hosted under /libs and /apps

    • add the property: allowProxy = 'true' to a clientlib
    • the clientlib will then be proxied via /etc.clientlibs/..., bypassing access control set on the clientlib.

    example: 

    Assume you have clientlib in /apps/myproject/clientlibs/foo. then you set the property /apps/myprojects/clientlibs/foo/allowProxy to true and then you can request: /etc.clientlibs/myprojects/clientlibs/foo.js.

    I have created a documentation issue to have the information added to the docs.

    Hope that helps,

    scott
