I just tried to put Fossil (running as server) behind a reverse proxy
(home grown, but similar to "Pound").

That doesn't work very well, because Fossil prefixes all paths in its
output with a full baseURL (as seen by Fossil). The client can't use that
as the reverse proxy maps an entirely different prefix to the Fossil server
instance. I think the html/css output by Fossil should use relative paths,
not absolute paths.

Next to the above, also the 301 Redirect repsonses have the wrong url, but
that is as per the http RFC: it is a reasonable job for a reverse proxy to
rewrite the Location: header of a 301 response.

Before I attempt this rather massive patch: Richard, any remarks?

Paul
