Description Alex Barker 2007-12-01 00:17:43 UTC

This a new ebuild for a simple module that allows the rewriting of x-forward-for headers to the source ip address.  The module is particularly useful for reverse proxy setups where your src ip is always localhost and you do not want to patch all your applications to look to that header instead of the REMOTE_ADDR.

I am aware that apache 2.2.6 does handle X-forward-for header however it is the deployed applications that are the concerns not so much the logs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




This module has been tested with apache 2.2.6 on gentoo and apache 2.0.x on Redhat.  The author feels it is stable enough for production and I have not experienced any issues.
