The watchlist mail notifications we are receiving from our xwiki server have hyperlinks to the corresponding pages, but the link starts with "http://localhost/" as opposed to the actual server hostname. How may we fix this? Thank you Mario

And what if there was no request since the start but the watch list must fire?

To me relying on a first request is really dangerous, also there are cases where ProxyPreserveHost is not accessible (I had the case of having just mod_rewrite and no mod_proxy‎). ‎ A hard solution is to install a URL factory that is absolute (i've published one here, it has too many things but has worked for me), another is to change de tomcat config if available.
