That depends! I took a look at the source code, and your result will
depend on how you deploy your Jersey application, and how your load
balancers are configured.
If you're deploying using the servlet container, the base URI is built
from HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL(), as seen in the code here:
https://github.com/jersey/jersey/blob/master/containers/jersey-servlet-core/src/main/java/org/glassfish/jersey/servlet/ServletContainer.java#L518
There's not really any way you'll find out what happens without testing
it, but if your load balancer and servlet container is configured
correctly, it should work fine. In this case Jersey and any other webapp
has to handle this the same way.
