Why does baseURL contain both httpXForwardedHost + httpHost

I see a lot of posts and closed bugs because the server incorrectly sets httpXForwardedHost. However, I don't think this is the case as I really am using forwarding.

I have test.theaterwerk-bodensee.de forwarded to tw.alien878.de. Unfortunately, when I go to http://test.theaterwerk-bodensee.de the baseURL ends up as:

Code:

---

<base href="http://test.theaterwerk-bodensee.de/tw.alien878.de/" />

---

when it should be:

Code:

---

<base href="http://test.theaterwerk-bodensee.de/" />

Why is it adding the httpHost? I can fix this in function url of Environment.php, but that doesn't seem to be the right answer.

I assisted a client install contao on our services at WebFaction today and had a similar issue.

We use a front-end nginx proxy server to route URLs and so this was happening. I resolved it by adding this,

./settings/config/localconfig.php

Code:

---

$_SERVER ['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ='';
$_SERVER ['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] ='';

It would be nice to have some increased documentation on baseURL, how it is built, and ways to override it.
