+Proxies a given request to a given upstream http server. The path prefix
+in `mount` will be stripped of the path requested to the upstream server,
+e.g. if mount is /api and upstream is http://localhost:8001/foo
+then an incoming request to /api/bar will cause a request to
+http://localhost:8001/foo/bar
+
+EXPERIMENTAL API. Please use http_serve_http + url_rewrites if a static
+mapping is good enough.
