Description

When Wookie is deployed using a virtual host configuration, it still sends instance URLs that use the real server location.

E.g. if Wookie is deployed at "bernard.myco.com:8080/wookie" but is served from the virtual host "services.myco.com/wookie" requests to the REST API to instantiate a widget returns a URL starting "bernard.myco.com:8080".

It should be possible to specify a vhost server name in configuration to override this behaviour.

NB There may be other functions in Wookie that would also need to be aware of any vhost settings.
