Reverse-proxy compatible Web Interface

Post by abnaxus »

It would be great if the web interface can be compatible with reverse proxy.
- using only relative path '/browse/0' -> 'browse/0'
- or, appending a configurable root point ('ums') to have '/ums/browse/0'

Wow, the web interface isn't released yet and we already got feature requests and improvement ideas. Can't say that our users are afraid to try out new stuff :)
I'll see if we can fix this
We reject: kings, presidents and voting.
We believe in: rough consensus and running code.

In general reverse proxies are pretty easy as long as the url writing is consistent. If you don't want use a unique machine name/dns entry for accessing UMS as opposed to other web resources, that means you'd need to specify an url prefix ("/ums/" seems like a good candidate) for the web interface. Seems simple enough in theory, but I'll admit my java skills are completely non-existent so I haven't been able to figure out how to kludge it here.....

Would love it if somebody could point me in the right direction -- or even better if the developers could add a new configuration variable that would allow us to add an url prefix via UMS.conf.
