Proxy with certificates

[javierpavon2000]

Now, when you configure the proxy to an url with needs a certificate, always response a 403.

If you install the certificate in the browser, you can reach the url, but with freddie response a 403

A new configuration option is needed

• https://github.com/Scytl/freddie/blob/master/src/middleware/proxy.js#L53

Suggested configuration:

{
    "name": "rbowen",
    "root": "build/",
    "port": 4000,
    "proxy": {
        "/api": {
            "url": "http://10.0.16.227:8080/ebd-rest",
            "key": "/path/to/key.pem",
            "cert": "/path/to/cert.pem"
        }
    }
}

• "proxy" properties should accept either a string value (proxy url) or an object like in the previous example
