Uh-huh.  Or I could use Go's templating system to rewrite the pages.

I really don't know.  On the one hand, it's a matter of running a sed
script over the HTML files, and I'd expect anyone who's able to set up
a reverse proxy to be able to do a global search and replace.  On the
other hand, some people have to live in restricted environments (they
don't control their DNS), and I'd like to make their lives as easy as
possible.

So I really don't know.
