The official documentation for dynamic plugins makes no mention of the proxy that plugins can use to make requests to services running on the cluster. This is a common need for plugins and something plugin authors might not know about since it's not in the docs. See the discussion of the proxy in the enhancement here:

https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/enhancements/console/dynamic-plugins.md#delivering-plugins

An example is also included in the demo plugin:
