There was a problem hiding this comment.
This certainly has to be an optional feature. You can implement it as a library which provides a class derived from a RequestHandler, instead of plugging directly into the server class.

Nop, Actually it can't be implemented the way you suggest, because one need to have access to all the request before they get preprocess. (Headers typically). |

http://SERVERIP/fwd/REDIRECTIP --> very useful in meshnetwork architecture
http://192.168.0.7/fwd/192.168.4.2 --> for instance, this allows to connect the chip with IP 192.168.4.2 which is connected to the softAP of node 192.168.0.7
Both GET and POST requests are supported, which is very convenient in order to use the HTTPUpdater in multi-hop network
