Mvc 4 Proxy Server/Controller

I am trying to implement the Jonathon Kresner "Asp .net Mvc 4 Proxy Server/Controller (For help with Cross Domain Request)" https://gist.github.com/jkresner/3982746 .

Could anyone indicate how to call it from jquery please?

the coffescript call with the article gist.github.com/jkresner, leaves me perplexed.

The coffeescript basicaly says that for clients who can't connect to the remote url by themselves, swap out the specified remote URL reference (i.e. http://api.othersite.com/Widget/7 ) with a reference to http://myoriginalpagehost.com/proxy and let the server side proxy the content from the http://myoriginalpagehost.com/proxy URI over to the http://api.othersite.com/Widget/7 URL.

One thing to note on that proxy is that it appears that cache control mechanisms will likely be subverted causing a potentially significant system load. Something to think about before boilerplate copy / paste of someones code. :-/

This article discusses another solution to the proxy issue that makes use of IIS's URL rewriting mechanisms. No coding, just configuring.
