Hi, i try to install Cockpit on Windows Wamp and i’ve a problem with image upload.  
The problem is in the url:  
[http://localhost:8080/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb\_url?src=http://localhost:8080/C:/wamp64/www\logo\_gaia\_email.png&w=undefined&h=160&m=bestFit&re=1](http://localhost:8080/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb_url?src=http://localhost:8080/C:/wamp64/www%5Clogo_gaia_email.png&w=undefined&h=160&m=bestFit&re=1)  
The correct url for generate the thumb does not include localhost.  
Where is the setting for remove localhost:8080/ ?  
Thank’s a lot

I’m afraid you can’t set this directly in Cockpit. However, you can achieve this really easyly with JS.

```nohighlight
function removeHost(url) {
  let urlObj = new URL(url);
  return urlObj.pathname;
}

let address = removeHost('http://localhost:8080/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb_url?src=http://localhost:8080/C:/wamp64/www\logo_gaia_email.png&w=undefined&h=160&m=bestFit&re=1');

```

`address` will than be `/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb_url`

If you need to keep the URL parameters in your url, use this function instead:

```nohighlight
function removeHost(url) {
  let urlObj = new URL(url);
  let res = urlObj.href.replace(urlObj.origin, '');
  return res;
}

let address = removeHost('http://localhost:8080/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb_url?src=http://localhost:8080/C:/wamp64/www\logo_gaia_email.png&w=undefined&h=160&m=bestFit&re=1');

```

In that case, `address` will be `/cp/cockpit/utils/thumb_url?src=http://localhost:8080/C:/wamp64/wwwlogo_gaia_email.png&w=undefined&h=160&m=bestFit&re=1`

Cheers.
