New issue 197 by mramas...@logitech.com: Leaking actual server name with
Reverse proxy
http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/issues/detail?id=197

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up RP behind a reverse proxy with machine name as
Machine_name.domain.com(FQDN)
2. Start an OpenID authentication request to an OpenID provider by
accessing Reverse proxy say example.domain.com
3. You will find "Machine_name.domain.com is asking for some information
from your Google Account. "



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should display "example.domain.com is asking for some information from
your Google Account" instead of "Machine_name.domain.com is asking for some
information from your Google Account"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
openid4java-0.9.7

Please provide any additional information below.
If the application is configured with reverse proxy, then what security
does it provides by displaying the actual server name
(Machine_name.domain.com) to the end user?
