I have added support for basic reverse proxy. The way it works is if file is not found by ecstatic, it will fall back to forwarding the request to a proxy server, configured by -f parameter, for .e.g http-server -f http://localhost:5000/ etc. This is very basic support to keep in line with spirit of http-server to keep it simple and cli driven.
We are using this as small replacement of nginx in dev environment. So that static files can be served as well as it works as reverse proxy for rest of the requests.
