Error description

  • The HTTP Proxy can fail with out of memory errors when
    registration.xml contains a large number of HTTPS port
    forwarding rules.
    For each forwarding rule several ephemeral ports are opened for
    internal Proxy communication.
    This can result in the Proxy failing to allocate new resources
    and exiting with the following error:
    
    "java/lang/OutOfMemoryError"
