+## Decorators
+
+### `reply.fromParameters(url[, params[, prefix]])`
+
+It can be used to get the final URL and options that `@fastify/http-proxy` would have used to invoke `reply.from`.
+
+A typical use is to override the request URL:
+
+```javascript
+preHandler (request, reply, done) {
+  if (request.url !== '/original') {
+    done()
+    return
+  }
+
+  const { url, options } = reply.fromParameters('/updated', { ...request.params, serverId: 42 })
+  reply.from(url, options)
+}
