When a reverse proxy is used, the path at which Radicale is available must
be provided via the `X-Script-Name` header. The proxy must remove the location
from the URL path that is forwarded to Radicale.

Example **nginx** configuration:
```nginx
location /radicale/ { # The trailing / is important!
    proxy_pass        http://localhost:5232/; # The / is important!
    proxy_set_header  X-Script-Name /radicale;
    proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_pass_header Authorization;
}
```

Be reminded that Radicale's default configuration enforces limits on the
maximum number of parallel connections, the maximum file size and the rate of
incorrect authentication attempts. Connections are terminated after a timeout.
