Using the RESTifier Behind a Proxy
E2E SAP RESTifier 2.0Since SAP RESTifier version 2.0, the proxy must change the base href in all HTML files, if you run the RESTifier behind a transparent proxy. For earlier versions of the RESTifier, this is not necessary, because they have relative URLs.
In the HTML file you have the href attribute of the base tag:
XML
<base href="/">You have to add your proxy URI path prefix here. If your proxy has e.g. the URI path prefix /saprestifier, the proxy has to change the base tag to:
XML
<base href="/saprestifier ">Configuring your Apache proxy, you can use the following rule to add the prefix:
CODE
