  ****************************************************************
  When a reverse proxy server name and port is configured in
  RequisiteWeb, editing a document on-line in the document
  popup window that will show the connecting status, it is not
  displaying the values configured in the config.txt file:
  "ProxyServer" and "ProxyServerPort", instead of that, it is
  displaying the reverse proxy information.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code changes is now added in RequisiteWeb that allows to
  show the "ProxyServer" and "ProxyServerPort" values in the
  document popup window connecting status if this is
  configured in config.txt file, as this must to be the
  information of the ReqWeb server.
