Yes, I am aware that its a bad idea to expose Solr directly to the Internet. As you've discovered, we filter all requests to the server so that only select requests make it through. I do not yet have documentation for the Javascript application, nor advice on configuring a proxy. However, documentation and setup instructions are on my to-do list so I'll get to that soon.
