------------------------------------------------

Hello Maurizio,

"application.base.url" can not be just removed due to it being used in different places, some of them are not connected to HttpRequest (like calendar email reminders)

HTTP_REFERRER can be used for screen sharing, but AFAIK it is not safe to use it while under reverse proxy.
for example see this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2648984/httpservletrequest-how-to-obtain-the-referring-url
Could you please describe why it is so vital to use server.local instead of server.domain.com simultaneously?

> When OpenMeetings server is connected to both a local network (http://server.local:5080/openmeetings) and Internet (http://server.domain.com:5080/openmeetings), java screen sharing application use always "application.base.url" configuration key as server address.
> So it's impossible to use screen sharing from both access types.
> I suggest using HTTP_REFERER dinamically for retrieving current application url, especially when it's used behind a reverse proxy.
