>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-458
>             Project: Nutch
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: web gui
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.1
>         Environment: tomcat/apache/proxy
>            Reporter: My Nutch
>
> In nutch.war in all jsp files that have this:
> String base = requestURI.substring(0, requestURI.lastIndexOf('/'));
> You need to change to this:
> String forwardedHost = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-Host");
> String base;
> if(forwardedHost == null)
> {
> base = requestURI.substring(0, requestURI.lastIndexOf('/'));
> }
> else
> {
> base = request.getScheme() + "://" + forwardedHost;
> }
> i.e.: You need to see if the request URI [header] has been modified by a proxy server and if so then use the forwarded host header of that proxy. Otherwise the HTML page will have a base of an internal computer that outsiders can not see. This is only a problem because your URLs are not relative but rather you are using a "base" tag, which is also not the best thing to do. Anyways, I searched the maillist archive and other people had this problem and hard-wired their base, but that is not the right way to do it. The code above will fix this problem, i.e.: I verified it works for Apache 2 proxy server in front of a tomcat app server that runs nutch.
