The official NIST agency web service providing staff information does not permit browser-based applications to contact the service directly; instead, it only allows clients running on pre-approved servers within the NIST firewall. Thus, to give access to staff information in our MIDAS front ends (e.g. to provide on-the-fly suggestions), they must go through some form of proxy. This PR introduces such a proxy into the MIDAS web server app. In particular, we introduce the
/midas/nsd/oar1endpoint which provides a custom interface (i.e. not a replication of NIST service) that is optimized for use by the MIDAS front-ends. This includes downloading lightweight indexes based on the characters typed by a user into an input box that can be used to offer completion suggestions either for people or organizations.The stand-alone
midasserverandpeopleserverdocker applications were updated and documented (via READMEs). These allow developers to run private versions of these services to support development of the front-end components that need access to it.
