> When running multiple ATS servers behind a TCP load balancer using the HTTP/2 protocol over TLS, it should be possible to get the client IP address forwarded by the load balancer using the proxy protocol.
> Many popular load balancers like HAPROXY or ELB currently lack protocol support for HTTP/2, so a TCP proxy must be used. This means that the IP address cannot be forwarded via the X-Forwarded-For header as is common when using HTTP proxying.
> The specification for the proxy protocol can be found at:
> http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
> And additional info in this haproxy blog post:
> http://blog.haproxy.com/haproxy/proxy-protocol/
> There are two version of the proxy protocol. The more widely used version 1 is text based and version 2 is binary.
> Proxy protocol would be useful for listening ports and for forwarding requests to origins that support the protocol.
