Broken behavior when accessing by reverse proxy

[skogan]

Hi.

I have just set up a new Zabbix 1.8.4 installation and because of the local needs, needed to access it by reverse proxy. Unfortunately, some links in Zabbix frontend are not safe for that - specifically anything that is loaded through Javascript like graphs, fullscreen icons, etc.

I traced the problem to the Curl class member function "getUrl" - the function returns an absolute address. Modifying the function to return path only solved the issue.

My question is: is there a specific reason why this function returns an absolute address? Will my modification break anything?

Hi,

It has already been reported: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19791

and a bug opened : https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-3174

If your reverse proxy is Apache, you can add

ProxyPreserveHost On

in proxy configuration (not zabbix server).

With this configuration, I don't need to patch Zabbix PHP code to access it via the reverse proxy.
