---------------------------------------
Summary: X-Forward Header support when running behind a proxy/load
balancer
Key: FELIX-4908
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4908
Project: Felix
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Martin Petrovsky
It would be nice for Apache Felix ({{org.apache.felix.http.jetty}}) to support
the standard set of {{X-Forwarded...}} type headers that are typically required
when running behind a reverse proxy or load balancer (see \[1\] & \[2\].
Specifically:
* {{X-Forwarded-For}}
* {{X-Forwarded-Server}}
* {{X-Forwarded-Port}}
* --{{X-Forwarded-Proto}}-- (already supported via FELIX-4330)
so that {{HttpServletRequest}} {{getRemoteHost}}/{{getRemoteAddr}}
{{getServerName}}, {{getServerPort}}, {{getScheme}} return the appropriate
values that are forwarded by an Apache Proxy/Load balancer. Furthermore, the
{{sendRedirect()}} method will need to be amended (to incorporate these values
otherwise you will end up with a Tomcat bug like \[3\] & \[4\]).
