Summary

0002638: HttpProxyServlet does not add X-Forwarded-For header

Description

We are attempting to use HttpProxyServlet to send traffic to a legacy backend server. However, since all requests come from HttpProxyServlet, the backend server can't properly view the client's IP address, which it needs to be able to do. Most proxies pass the original client's IP address in an X-Forwarded-For header, as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For. [^] However, HttpProxyServlet is not doing this or any similar mechanism that we can see.
