You have to provide the ZopeHTTPServer with the location.
I haven't done it with ZHS yet, and I'm still using my options-based BHS,
but you basically have to set:
SERVER_NAME
SERT_PORT
HTTPS
SCRIPT_NAME

I probably have forgotten some of the variables. Basically you have more
less to set all standard CGI variables to the expected frontend values.
