indeed, that's the correct way to do it.

Well, since almost everyone is using it, I don't really believe it does
not work. Are you sure you have "mode http" in your "listen" section ?
Also, how are you checking that the header is correctly added ? Maybe
you just mis-wrote its name where you check it ?

ForwardFor Option Not Working?

[Michael Tinnion]

Hi,

 

I've very limited experience with HAProxy and I'm trying to get the ForwardFor 
option to work but with no joy.


I've set the following in my 'listen' section

 

 option httpclose
 option forwardfor
 
and I have set the following in my tomcat (hosted by JBoss) configuration:

 

 maxKeepAliveRequests="1"

 

According to everything I have read this should make HAProxy add the 
X-Forwarded-For header to the requests. Unfortunately I am still not seeing 
this and the client IP address in the request has been set to that of the load 
balancer.

 

I've tried this with haproxy versions: 1.3.17 and 1.3.15

 

Thanks in advance for any help and apologies for any important missing data!
Mike
