/* proxy_add_forward module
*
* This module adds a 'X-Forwarded-For' header to outgoing
* proxy requests like Squid does.
*
* You can then get the client ip back on the "proxied host" by
* setting r->connection->remote_ip from this header.
*
* Ask Bjoern Hansen , October 1998
* Changes:
* June 8 1999: Added instructions on how to compile it into the
* frontend apache
*
* April 12 1999: Changed the sample code so it doesn't confuse the
* C compiler, ydkhr! Thanks to Mike Whitaker for
* noticing.
*
* March 1 1999: Added sample code on how to use the header with
* mod_perl
*
To use the module you have to compile it into the frontend part of
your server, I usually copy the module to apache-1.3/src/modules/extra/
and use APACI like:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/extra/mod_proxy_add_forward.c \
--enable-module=proxy_add_forward [... more apaci options ...]
You should also be able to compile and use this module as a
dynamically loaded module (DSO).
TMTOWTDI, but I usually make the 'backend' part of the system
something like the following:
in startup.pl:
sub My::ProxyRemoteAddr ($) {
my $r = shift;
# we'll only look at the X-Forwarded-For header if the requests
# comes from our proxy at localhost
return OK unless ($r->connection->remote_ip eq "127.0.0.1");
if (my ($ip) = $r->header_in('X-Forwarded-For') =~ /([^,\s]+)$/) {
$r->connection->remote_ip($ip);
}
return OK;
}
And in httpd.conf:
PerlPostReadRequestHandler My::ProxyRemoteAddr
