// Package rproxy is the reverse proxy in front of one app that asks servewaf
// about each request. It passes a request servewaf allows to the app and the
// app's answer back, within the size and time limits. Any other answer from
// servewaf goes to the visitor as servewaf gave it. SWRP_DEFAULT_DISPOSITION
// decides only when servewaf cannot be connected to, does not answer at all, or
// does not answer within SWRP_TIMEOUT_MS. rproxy itself refuses a request with a
// method it does not pass on, or one it cannot put to servewaf as the visitor
// sent it. It keeps nothing between requests and never touches disk. "rproxy" in
// SPEC.md says what it does.
