Hi, It sounds like you are having other problems, George, but I just struggled with Dspace's Rest interface, and I can confirm the Apache Proxy/ReverseProxy problem. That stumped me for a while, because we are running https through Apache, and I thought I should leave the https in. But we are not using https for Tomcat, of course (duh!), since it is running behind Apache - so I had to comment out the https segment in the Rest config before I could get it to work. I have tomcat configured to listen only on localhost, so I can now access the Rest interface only on that machine. I use curl on the command line. Everything works. But I have not included rest in the Proxy/ReverseProxy list for Apache, so it is not available in the browser. I get a 404 just like you do, George. I do not want everyone to be able to use it online, so this suits me.
I post this because these kinds of fine points can be overlooked. I hope it helps someone.
