# Outstanding Issues

- The above document is proof of concept, and we don't yet have anyone who has successfully used it.
- Unsure if Gatsby configuration applies to graphql requests.
- Looking at the Charles log if request is HTTP than the content is encrypted, which is not helpful.
- There is no standard/global way to set proxy for all `node.js` requests.
