 * Hi there,
 * By default wordpress generates hard href with the url provided in setting/genral.
 * This is a problem because you can’t use wordpress with a reverse proxy.
 * Is there a way to force wordpress to generate href such as href=/url
    instead
   of href=http://web/url
 * Thanks in advance

 * Thank you Keith for your help.
 * It’s a good start but it doesn’t work for me. I tried to unset $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’](
   because that’s what I need : to get href generated without server name)
 * I tried with this at the latest line of wp-config.php :
    $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]
   = “”; => doesn’t work $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] = $_SERVER[”]; => doesn’t work
 * I greped $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] to see where this varraible could be initialized.
   It is used and defined several times also by plugins.
 * Is there a way to unset this variable on time for all ?
 * Thanks in advance
