Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/issues/107

The webui is broken when used behind a reverse proxy under a directory because of some absolute paths. For example, with this handy nginx configuration, it's not working:

location /peerflix/ {
        proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:9000/;
}

The webui looks for socket.io in https://domain.name/socket.io/socket.io.js instead of https://domain.name/peerflix/socket.io/socket.io.js. In index.html <script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> should be replaced by <script src="socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>

Same thing happens with paths to fonts in stylesheets and at least with /upload and /torrents

If you can get it to work for both relative and absolute urls, PR is welcome.

Honestly I never pulled anything because I'm not a real developer. However that looks doable and could be a good start. I'll try, but please be indulgent!
