Currently, system property activation is supported for Proxy base URL setting on GeoServer, but there is no option to enable the Use Headers setting using the same approach. This task is focused on add the same flags support level in order to sync both features activation.

The proposed system property is on the example:

-DPROXY_BASE_URL_HEADERS=true
