Proxy URL Port Issue in GeoNode 4.3 When Accessed via DDNS

[hudjinn]

Expected Behavior

GeoNode should use the correct proxy URL base from GeoServer, including the specified port, to retrieve REST attributes. Or take a attribute from .env file.

Actual Behavior

I am experiencing an issue where GeoNode is not correctly using the specified port in the proxy URL when accessed externally. Specifically, I am using a DDNS to access GeoNode externally, and I need to include an external port in the DDNS (e.g., http://example.ddns.net:9000) to correctly redirect to my PC.

While everything is functioning properly, the problem arises in the mapstore-client, which retrieves data from the API using a URL derived from the SITEURL parameter in the environment configuration. Unfortunately, the SITEURL parameter does not accept a port number, and modifying the https_port would disrupt the redirects.

As a result, the URL used by GeoNode is missing the port number, leading to issues when loading resources.

Log: nginx4sigweb_uece | ..*. - - [20/Aug/2024:23:12:14 +0000] "GET /proxy/?url=http%3A%2F%[2Fexample.ddns.net](http://2fexample.ddns.net/)%2Fapi%2Fv2%2F HTTP/1.1" 404 162 "http://example.ddns.net:9000/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

In this example, the desired URL should include the port, like this:

http%3A%2F%[2Fexample.ddns.net](http://2fexample.ddns.net/)%3A9000%2Fapi%2Fv2%2F
