David,

Have you come across a situation where someone was trying to use a
reverse-proxy to filter requests going to Jetspeed? This is our current
scenario, and we have been able to successfully reverse proxy requests from
the outside world to the login screen and we are able to login, but the
resulting page has tabs / links that all point to the server on which
Jetspeed resides which is behind the firewall and cannot be accessed
directly from the internet. These tabs / links need to point to the reverse
proxy in order for the URL to resolve correctly. Any ideas on how we can set
the base url of the tabs / links to point to our reverse proxy instead of
the jetspeed server itself?

http.nonProxyHosts

http.nonProxyHosts indicates the hosts which should be connected too
directly and not through the proxy server. The value can be a list of hosts,
each seperated by a |, and in addition a wildcard character (*) can be used
for matching. For example: -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts="*.foo.com|localhost".
