Use this to be able to record the hostname and method (http vs. https) in the URL without disturbing your web site. If you put this resource in a URL http://foo.com/bar then requests to http://foo.com/bar/http/baz.com/something will be equivalent to http://foo.com/something, except that the hostname the request will appear to be accessing will be "baz.com". So if "baz.com" is redirecting all requests for to foo.com, while foo.com is inaccessible from the outside, then redirect and url generation will work correctly

Method Details

### getChild(self, path, request) Retrieve a 'child' resource from me. Implement this to create dynamic resource generation -- resources which are always available may be registered with self.putChild(). This will not be called if the class-level variable 'isLeaf' is set in your subclass; instead, the 'postpath' attribute of the request will be left as a list of the remaining path elements. For example, the URL /foo/bar/baz will normally be:
     | site.resource.getChild('foo').getChild('bar').getChild('baz').
However, if the resource returned by 'bar' has isLeaf set to true, then the getChild call will never be made on it. Parameters: `path` - a string, describing the child `request` - a twisted.web.server.Request specifying meta-information about the request that is being made for this child. Overrides: `twisted.web.resource.Resource.getChild` (inherited documentation)
