Running QlikSense behind haproxy

[#1]

Hi,

We're working on a proof of concept using Qlik, and (for a bunch of reasons) we'd like to be able to run it behind our haproxy machine. It's less about load balancing and more about IP addresses and routing.

I understand there's a lot of websockets use, and I found some documentation on how to get that working with haproxy. Where I could use a little guidance is around the multitude of URLs that a Qlik installation needs, and how to configure Qlik to understand that it's running behind a proxy and should create all its URLs with '/reports/' at the beginning.

Has anyone done something like this before, and be willing to share their configuration or some pointers?

Many thanks!
