Fixed an issue where the base url was ignored when calling the websocket api of the metrics page when accessing through a reverse proxy

Description

As already pointed out in issue #527, when accessing through a reverse proxy, when a url with a base path is used, the base path is ignored and the metrics page is not properly loaded. (e.g. https://www.example.com/elastichq)

The reason is that the subpath of the url entered when establishing a connection to the socket.io is recognized as a namespace. In order to use the subpath of the reverse proxy as it is, a custom path must be set separately. For example, if you enter url as the following, the socket will connect to the elastichq namespace.

this.socket = io("https://www.example.com/elastichq");

To include elastichq in the custom path as intended, it should be modified as follows.

this.socket = io("https://www.example.com", { path: "elastichq/socket.io" });

So, I separated the url part and the baseurl part, and modified it to establish the connection in the correct way. I tested through the nginx proxy environment of kubernetes, and it worked fine in my case. There seems to be a lot of similar questions, so I send a pull request with the modified version. If there is anything wrong, please comment. I hope it helps.
