Started a plugin for #Wordpress to http proxy the plugins and themes as a workaround for the craziness that Automattic is pulling on WP Engine.

I'm not a programmer but I got it to load the plugin menu.

If anyone can contribute or test, that'd be great.

@art That description though - anything to take Automattic off the lead I guess!

@art nice, I figured WPEngine would do something like this pretty quickly, looks like you beat them to it!

@art You could use https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/plugins_api/ to point the plugin API to an alternative endpoint as well
plugins_api – Hook | Developer.WordPress.org

Filters the response for the current WordPress.org Plugin Installation API request.
