Hi folks,
got an issue I can't locate any discussion or documentation for, but may be addressed already:
When you put geoserver in tomcat behind Apache, and rewrite the base URL (which you will need to do in many cases, for a variety of reasons) the capabilities document returns an incorrect OnlineResource attribute in the <capabilities> section.
Either explicit instructions on how to avoid this from a tomcat/apache guru, or a code fix to allow hard configuration, or a doc fix if this option is already there is required it seems
Any pointers?

I feel like I've heard a fix for this in the tomcat/apache guru way in the
past, but I'm not one, so I don't know it. The code is in
org.vfny.geoserver.util.Requests, method is getBaseUrl(). I think it's
generally pretty good at figuring out where the request is coming from,
and I'm pretty sure people have had it through apache with no problems.
It uses the httpservletrequest stuff:
return "http://" + httpServletRequest.getServerName() + ":"
+ httpServletRequest.getServerPort() +
httpServletRequest.getContextPath() +"/";
So right there you could just hard code. If you find a fix through
apache/tomcat configuration do post it on the wiki.
