[imp] IMP through Apache proxy

[Colin Farley]

If you want the server to be the webserver to be accessable from the
outside world then you should just have a DNS record created for it.  If
it's just a couple of people that want to access it and you don't want many
people on it then you could make it work with an entry in your host file.
I'm not sure about making IMP send relative paths, sorry.

I have been trying to make IMP work through a Apache proxy. As long as I
run it
on our local subnet it works well but when I access it from Internet it
fails
because all links and forms are written as absolute URLs including protocol
(https:), domainname and path. This fails since name of the the IMP host is
not
available from internet.

I have seen posts in this matter before and they say that the hostname used
on
the internet shall be set into some configuration parameters. This will not
work well since it will cause accesses from clients on our local net will
have
to go out on the internet and back again and the firewall blocks such
traffic.

The simplest solution would be to configure IMP to send relative paths. I
have
though not found any way to do that. Does anyone know if it is possible?

Thank you in advance,
