   There was a similar issue reported and I think it's related:
   
   https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2594
   
   We had figured out there that Fauxton grabs the URL from the browser's location and uses parts of for the "local" replications. I can see how proxies or container environments would interfere with that. As the URL the browser connect to the server might not be accessible for the server to connect to itself especially with `localhost` being used.
   
   Try to reproduce the issue outside Fauxton and just using the API directly.
   
   Somethings to keep in mind with a proxy:
   
     * Make sure that it doesn't buffer requests, as say _changes feeds APIs need to stream data
   
     * They may alter the `Set-Cookie` headers and prevent servers behind the reverse proxies to authenticate requests properly. To avoid the issue can switch to basic auth only by setting
      ```
     [replicator]
     auth_plugins = couch_replicator_auth_noop
      ```
