Is there a reason you're using a proxy/nfs/qntc in the first place?

Good question. QNTC indicates that an IBM i application is accessing stream
files located on a Windows server. But why? On which machine/OS is the reverse
proxy running, and why? Windows or IBM i? If static PDF files are stored in a
Windows directory, then why not run the reverse proxy on the Windows server, so
it can access the local file system? Then only forward requests to IBM i to
serve dynamic content?

This could get convoluted if you were running a reverse proxy under IBM i, along
with a normal HTTP server instance, where one or more HTTP server instances were
serving from the QNTC file system - which points to Windows.
