Because the implementation may not want to run the proxy on the same port as 
the main OCF resources, for security reasons or for implementation details. 
The information in either the /oic/res reply or the proxy's own resource 
should include that information.

I'm not asking you to design the implementation like that. But I am asking 
that you make it possible for another implementation to do that.

Feel free to design a reply format that has less overhead. But make sure that 
an implementation that chooses not to use the same port number or IP address 
is still possible.
