Hi Justin/Andrea/Ben, Happy to say the I have just tested the geoserver-2.1.x-2012-02-26-war with our Apache2 (using mod_proxy and a reverse proxy) and works OK with:
* Geoserver ReverseProxyFilter=false * Setting a Proxy Base URL thru. GUI * Geoserver gzip compression switched on I no longer see the double gzipping issue I reported in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4756. URL's were correctly translated from the internal URL (behind proxy) to external OK (outside proxy) in both html pages via layer the layer preview and XML outputs from GetCapabilities and WFS-GML. So as I understand it now all the URL translation all done with the 'URLMangler' working with the Proxy Base URL. So yes, I guess, eventually you could remove the Reverse Proxy Filter provided there are no uses for it now.
