Add custom URL prefix for HTTP URLs

[rechner]

Hello :wave:

A small tweak to the way that URLs for album art is generated for the HTTP RPC server. I utilize the Snapweb interface through a reverse proxy with SSL termination, which unfortunately breaks album art images in snapweb due to port mismatch and SSL mixed content policies (e.g.: my snapserver hosted at snapserver.lan on the default port, is available over the WAN via a reverse proxy at https://snapcast.example.com, but setting http.host = snapcast.example.com results in image URLs being http://snapcast.example.com:1780).

I worry this addition might create some confusion in the configuration with the http.host configuration, but allowing a totally custom URL prefix like this provides better flexibility of schema, hostname, and port instead of using a piecemeal-constructed string, does it make sense to keep both around?

Tested on Debian 11.

Thanks,

Thanks! Merged it into the tls branch, because this must be touched in the TLS branch anyways.
