     * ## Upstream
     *
     * In this case the current thread is assigned as the upstream reader. We read bytes from
     * upstream and copy them to both the file and to the buffer. Finally we release the upstream
     * reader lock and return the new bytes.
     *
     * ## The file
     *
     * In this case we copy bytes from the file to the [sink].
     *
     * ## The buffer

### Return a Response Directly

The most common case would be [returning a Response directly as explained later in the advanced docs](../advanced/response-directly.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Proxy with a stripped path prefix

Having a proxy with a stripped path prefix, in this case, means that you could declare a path at `/app` in your code, but then, you add a layer on top (the proxy) that would put your **FastAPI** application under a path like `/api/v1`.

In this case, the original path `/app` would actually be served at `/api/v1/app`.

Even though all your code is written assuming there's just `/app`.

In this case, it would use the certificate for `someapp.example.com`.

The client already **trusts** the entity that generated that TLS certificate (in this case Let's Encrypt, but we'll see about that later), so it can **verify** that the certificate is valid.

Of course, there are some cases where there's no problem in running the previous steps multiple times, in that case, it's a lot easier to handle.

!!! tip
    Also, keep in mind that depending on your setup, in some cases you **might not even need any previous steps** before starting your application.

    In that case, you wouldn't have to worry about any of this. 🤷

### Examples of Previous Steps Strategies

    fun redactHeader(name: String) {
      val newHeadersToRedact = TreeSet(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)
      newHeadersToRedact += headersToRedact
      newHeadersToRedact += name
      headersToRedact = newHeadersToRedact
    }

    fun redactQueryParams(vararg name: String) {
      val newQueryParamsNameToRedact = TreeSet(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)
      newQueryParamsNameToRedact += queryParamsNameToRedact

             *
             * In such case, [FirQualifiedAccessExpression] representing the call references
             * the original `Base.bar` callable symbol instead of `MyObject.bar`, because there are
             * no separate symbol for that case.
             *
             * Java statics present a similar case - they can be imported not only from the declaring class,

            //
            // TODO: This seems a little indirect. Is there a better way to do this? For FE1.0 there is
            // a special `TypeAliasConstructorDescriptor` for this case. For FIR there is
            // FirConstructor.originalConstructorIfTypeAlias but that doesn't seem to help here as it
            // is null for the constructors we get.

encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

Calling this program outputs:

```
John Doe
```

The function does the following:

* Takes a `first_name` and `last_name`.
* Converts the first letter of each one to upper case with `title()`.
* <abbr title="Puts them together, as one. With the contents of one after the other.">Concatenates</abbr> them with a space in the middle.
