José, support for demo requests against URLs other than http://localhost:8080/geoserver was removed in 2.10.1 because it is a vulnerability both in that it allows access to otherwise inaccessible internal hosts using GeoServer as a proxy, and because the proxy allows circumvention of browser cross-domain security restrictions.
This change was mentioned in the 2.10.1 release announcement but was not well described: http://blog.geoserver.org/2016/12/21/geoserver-2-10-1-released/ "Additional restrictions have been placed on the demo request page" There is a Jira issue but it is mostly empty: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7848 Kind regards, Ben.
