[Bug 58001] New: Implement Forwarded header (RFC 7239) to mod_proxy_http

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58001

            Bug ID: 58001
           Summary: Implement Forwarded header (RFC 7239) to
                    mod_proxy_http
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_proxy_http
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: takashi.asfbugzilla@tks.st

According to the document, mod_proxy_http supports X-Forwarded-For,
X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Server.
Last year RFC 7239 standardized a new Forwarded header.

Created attachment 35207

Add Forwarded header

This patch adds the Forwarded header in the same manor as X-Forwarded-*.

I added a new configuration variable, ProxyAddForwardedHeader, in addition to
ProxyAddHeaders that controls the X-Forwarded-* headers. The default is Off in
order to stay conservative, but I don't know what the general policy about such
things is in this project.

--- Comment #3 from Christian Schmidt <bz...@chsc.dk> ---
AFAICT the Host header is already sanitized. All my attempts to inject invalid
characters in this header result in a "400 Bad Request" response.

However, I am new to Apache development, so I'd appreciate any guidance on how
to deal with this issue, i.e. which validation functions to use etc.

Cool! This looks good. Except that the content of the "Host" header is not
escaped, which could raise security threats if the request Host header contains
chars like ";

3635 host_param = apr_pstrcat(r->pool, "; host=\"", host, "\"", NULL);
