After the change to the metadata URL back links (GEOS-5167, GEOS-5219), it is possible to use a URI instead of a full URL. I know this was implemented for cite purposes but it is also be a useful feature. One could put in /path/to/metadata in the web UI (or via REST) and in the capabilities response the URL would be http://proxy-url/path/to/metadata. This is really handy in the case where you have different stages of production servers (alpha, beta, production). The metadata URLs would not have to be changed by hand for each layer.
The only thing preventing this use case is the URL validation of the web UI. Would there be any negative impact to changing this to URI validation or changing the URL validation to allow no protocol/host/port?
