Description

For example, a problem that came up on the #servant IRC channel: dynamic/conditional reverse proxy-ing, passing along the entire request as is when the condition is satisfied, responding with something else otherwise.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Raw usage in servant server; implement a simple reverse proxy using `serve` or `warp` that conditionally forwards requests based on a header or path; then add the example with explanation to the tutorial.
