ng serve --proxy-config unspecified #20827
Description
Bug Report
Affected Package
I am not sure what package is responsible. ng serve requires ng-cli.
Is this a regression?
This does not report a behavioral bug.
Description
The ng serve command supports several options, which are listed in the Options section of its documentation page. One of the useful options is --proxy-config, which allows to proxy to backend servers. Unfortunately, its documentation is limited to:
| --proxy-config | Proxy configuration file. | string |
|---|
While this clearly implies that the value is the path to a configuration file, the semantics of that file are entirely unspecified.
Minimal Reproduction
This does not report a behavioral bug.

The documentation about proxying hints about what kind of files --proxy-config expects.
