Proxy forwarding to nutch.war does not work. Need to add some code...
---------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NUTCH-458
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-458
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: web gui
    Affects Versions: 0.8.1
         Environment: tomcat/apache/proxy
            Reporter: My Nutch


In nutch.war in all jsp files that have this:

String base = requestURI.substring(0, requestURI.lastIndexOf('/'));

You need to change to this:

String forwardedHost = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-Host");
String base;

if(forwardedHost == null)
{
base = requestURI.substring(0, requestURI.lastIndexOf('/'));
}
else
{
base = request.getScheme() + "://" + forwardedHost;
}

i.e.: You need to see if the request URI [header] has been modified by a proxy 
server and if so then use the forwarded host header of that proxy. Otherwise 
the HTML page will have a base of an internal computer that outsiders can not 
see. This is only a problem because your URLs are not relative but rather you 
are using a "base" tag, which is also not the best thing to do. Anyways, I 
searched the maillist archive and other people had this problem and hard-wired 
their base, but that is not the right way to do it. The code above will fix 
this problem, i.e.: I verified it works for Apache 2 proxy server in front of a 
tomcat app server that runs nutch.
