Hi Gabriel and Andrea,
Thank you for your explanations. As I understand this now all the translation
for both html and OWS XML responses are done by the URL Mangler working with the
Proxy Base URL setting.
I also note that Andrea made changes on 7 Feb 2012
to OpenLayersMapOutputFormat.java to fix issue GEOS-4930 ("Map preview
always points
to localhost") so that the ProxyBaseURL was taken into account for
Open Layers map preview
html output.
So I will study OpenLayersMapOutputFormat.java and URL Mangler code
to satisfy myself.
I will be good to not use the ReverseProxyFilter, it gave me a lot of headache
and hours checking/testing bugs last time around when I installed 2.1.1 !
Regards,
Andrew

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
