[Geoserver-users] GEOS-4930 --OpenLayers Map Preview always points to localhost

[cmaul <Chr...@ds...>]

Hello list,

updating our geoserver instance from 2.1.3 to 2.3 I found that the preview
stopped working. Looking at the reasons I found the issue GEOS-4930, a bug
fix. However, I don't think it is actually a problem that has been fixed,
but rather created. The bug that was fixed was that Openlayers (in the
preview) went back to the localhost and not to the proxy, if a proxy is
defined. It occurred in 2.1.2 and fixed in 2.1.4. In all other instances in
2.12 and 2.13 it went back to the proxy.

Our Geoserver sits behind a proxy (a catalogue). The consequence of the fix
is that the display on the preview does not work, because after the initial
request the Openlayers requests goes to the proxy and not to the server. The
proxy obviously doesn't have a clue about the Openlayers controls etc. So,
it stalls after opening a window and drawing a frame.

The preview in Geoserver is a preview for the administrator, i.e. me, nobody
else is supposed to use it. I do not use for production purposes but to
check new layers or sld's or switches between databases, new stores etc. So,
I need to remove the "proxy base url", check and put it in again.

Is that the desired behaviour and if it is: Is it sensible?

Cheers

Christian
