I had started writing an FAQ, confident that it was working - but after a closer look I found that only the links to the getCapabilities requests (and the URLs in them) were updated to the setting in PROXY_BASE_URL. All the others on the front-end are not using the setting.
I also tried Eduin's idea, which should work, but doesn't - I think it must be an issue with apache/sed on windows.
Any other ideas? If not, I may just go in and update the geoserver code to use the PROXY_BASE_URL setting everywhere, unless it's a trivial fix and someone wants to drop it in for me?
