Bluetooth GATT Service Reference
HTTP Proxy (0x1823)
The HTTP Proxy Service (HPS) allows a device to expose HTTP Web Services to a client. This enables an HPS client device to program a set of characteristics that configures a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request, initiate this, request, and then read the response.

Implementation Checklist
- Validate the service UUID during discovery before reading characteristic metadata.
- Ensure mandatory characteristics exist and expose expected properties.
- Map declaration data to app feature flags before attempting writes/subscriptions.
- Record mismatches between firmware tables and expected profile definitions in logs.
Dependencies
- This service is not dependent upon any other services.
