Andrea, does this only affect the user interface or other HTML or XML?
The reverse proxy base URL is used in app-schema deployments to rewrite
absolute URLs (see below).
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi Ben,
Yes, all DPI/ERDD WxS instances are deployed behind a reverse proxy.
- geology.data.vic.gov.au/services <--> secret-server:8080
This is all a bit rushed and from memory ...
The issue isn't so much with the Geoserver GUI (not exposed
externally/of little use with app-schema ... for now) ...
Setting the proxyBaseURL is vital to ensuring valid URLs are provided in
responses to various WxS requests.
You're right the DescribeFeatureType is one, for example when a
DescribeFeatureType is used as the schemaLocation in place of the
canonical schema location.
I'm pretty sure it was also need for resource locations in
GetCapabilities responses. Check out the ows:Operation/* elements in
this response.
http://geology.data.vic.gov.au/services/earthresourceml/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.1.0&request=GetCapabilities
If memory serves, all of these would be innaccesible to any external
client: http://secret-server:8080/earthresourceml/wfs.
Pretty sure a similar thing applies for WMS.
Removing it would be a Bad Thing.
Cheers,
Alistair

Alistair,
I have a vague recollection that the reverse proxy filter is necessary
for correct functioning of app-schema behind a proxy, as in DPI Vic?
Does this affect HTML such as DescribeFeatureType responses?
Kind regards,
Ben.
