+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module is a L<Moose::Role> which allows you more flexibility in your
+application's deployment configurations when deployed behind a proxy.
+
+The problem is that there is no standard way for a proxy to tell a backend
+server what the original URI for the request was, or if the request was
+initially SSL. (Yes, I do know about C<< X-Forwarded-Host >>, but they don't
+do enough)
+
+This creates an issue for someone wanting to deploy the same cluster of
+application servers behind various URI endpoints.
+
+Using this module, with the C<< using_frontend_proxy >> configuration
+directive activates it's behavior. The request base (C<< $c->req->base >>)
+is replaced with the contents of the C<< X-Request-Base >> header,
+which is expected to be a full URI, for example:
+
+    http://example.com
+    https://example.com
+    http://other.example.com:81/foo/bar/yourapp
+
+This value will then be used as the base for uris constructed by
+C<< $c->uri_for >>.
