NAME

Perlbal::Plugin::XFFExtras - Perlbal plugin that can optionally add an X-Forwarded-Port and/or X-Forwarded-Proto header to reverse proxied requests.

SYNOPSIS

# in perlbal.conf

LOAD XFFExtra

CREATE POOL web
    POOL web ADD 10.0.0.1:80

CREATE SERVICE proxy
    SET role                        = reverse_proxy
    SET listen                      = 0.0.0.0:80

DESCRIPTION

This plugin adds optional headers to be sent to backend servers in reverse proxy mode.

HEADERS

  • X-Forwarded-Port

    This header will contain an integer value indicating the port that the peer connected to. This will correspond to the port number specified on the listen line of the perlbal service that initially handled the connection.

  • X-Forwarded-Proto

    This header will contain a string indicating the protocol the client connected to perlbal via. Currently this will be either 'http' or 'https'.
