How to access the gui through a NAT device

Hi

I have to access the management GUI over a NAT IP. So the browser is not accessing the configured managment IP. How can this be realized?

Unfortunately the programmers wrote the HTML code with absolute addressed links instead of using relative links.

Example HTML code excerpt from the web gui:

...

<script src="

https://wsa.test.local:8443/scfw/1y-7.1.2-020/yui/animation/animation-min.js"></script>

...


Good code shoul read like:
...
<script src="/scfw/1y-7.1.2-020/yui/animation/animation-min.js"></script>
...

The second code doesn't take care on which hostname/IP nor port the web gui is seen from the client. The browser just adds hostname to the beginning of the URL as it was used to access the starting page. So a NAT or even PAT on the way to access the box has no influence on the usability.

Any ideas how to circumvent that problem?

We found out that this seems to be a limitation of the browser. It doesn't work with iE 8/9 but it works with Firefox 6.0.1.

Strange...
