We have Crystal Reports on a old Web API, we are moving to .Net Core 6 wherever we can, i understand that Crystal Reports is not compatible with .Net Core and no immediate possibility of Crystal Reports being updated to do so.
I understand this, however in my research I found some users were able to create a ReverseProxy in a Seperate project that holds the Crystal Reports on a .Net 4.8 framework and the WebAPI being on .Net core 6. I however have not found any examples of doing so and how to accomplish this, and I personally have never created a proxy so not sure how to go about this and getting this to work for us(maybe). Does anyone have any examples of setting up a reverse proxy for crystal reports? or something that could help point me in the right direction to creating my own?
Please refer to the below blog, it will inspire you.

If you want use reverse proxy, please setup IIS with URL Rewrite as a reverse proxy for real world apps.
