Not really sure I have a choice in that its hardcoded into the WebFrontend
as part of the backend

ie. you get errros like
The requested URL /misc/overview.qsp was not found on this server.


the endpoints if found so far include but not limited too
/misc
/images
/Content
/js
/css
/3rdParty
/menu.qsp
/tv
/setup
/video
/Status
/samples

Another option might be to instead add an apache virtualhost so that
everthing for the new virtualhost is proxied at the / root level and not
under a sub folder.

I'm really just looking to see if someone else has already done the work
here so I dont have to reinvent the wheel

Cheers,

Anthony
