Allows forwarding matching requests (by regex pattern) to an external URL during local development. Useful for proxying file downloads to a production server when resources don't exist in the local emulator. Responses are streamed chunk-wise so large files don't consume memory. Usage: app_server --forward '/file/.*=https://my-app.appspot.com' ...

Summary
--forward PATTERN=URLCLI argument (repeatable) that forwards matching requests to an external serverForwardProxyWSGI middleware with chunk-based streaming (memory-safe for large files)Use case
During local development, files uploaded to production (Google Cloud Storage) aren't available in the local Datastore emulator. This option transparently proxies those requests to the production server:
app_server -A my-app \ --forward '/file/.*=https://my-app.appspot.com' \ deploy/Test plan
/file/download/...returns200 OKwith correctcontent-type/json/..., static files) still work as before--forward: behavior unchanged (no regression)
