Description

I am trying to deploy NiFi registry behind a reverse proxy, behind an context path i.e.:
/my-nifi-registry

I added the X-ProxyContextPath header to my HAProxy configuration:
http-request set-header X-ProxyContextPath /my-nifi-registry
but when accessing the UI I get 404 errors for all js, css etc. files and the UI isn't loading, because the contextPath isn't used.

From the code I saw, that only the API is using the X-ProxyContextPath or X-Forwarded-For, but the UI isn't. I think it would be useful to add support also for the UI.
