Thanks, Gili. My guess is the same as yours. I just don't want to have to set up a load balancer to confirm or refute it.
I'm not sure how any of the UriInfo#getXXX() methods behave when there's a proxy or load balancer in the mix, and either I missed it or it's not in the docs.
Thanks,
Eric

Subject: [Jersey] Re: UriInfo_at_getBaseUri() with a load balancer
I'm guessing this depends on the HOST header the client sends and whether anyone transforms it along the way. Meaning, in theory it would be the load-balancer address. That being said, this is a total guess.
I'm curious what the JAX-RS authors have to say on this topic.
