is an HTTP connection daemon, or called a hypervisor, such as can be configured to allow specific IP connections, when the traffic is large, you can deny certain connections to protect the system. However, this feature is relatively single, suitable for small servers, it is useless to encounter large-scale distributed system. In general this is a management connection (connection) and not just a proxy feature

is the Http/https agent. I do not know when it will be used, but it says it is easy to modify, so when there is a special need, the other HTTP proxy is not supported, you can use it.
