[users@httpd] how to preserve remote_host/addr when using proxy

Hi all,

We're using a reverse proxy to redirect access to java servlets listening on port 9080. The problem is all http requests received by servlets have remote_addr set to 127.0.0.1. Is there a way to configure the proxy to keep the original ip/host when redirecting?

Thanks,
Yong

Hi,

I would suggest mod_jk - it works for Tomcat, I don't know about  
other servlet containers, but it's worth a shot.
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/

Maybe it's x-forwarded-for mentioned by Gergely. I'm going to give this
a try, and take a look at mod_jk suggested by Alex.

Thank you all for the help,
Yong

I had the same problem and ended up writing a java filter for my jrun server that replaces the remote_ip with the proxied_for value that apache sets (not sure of the exact variable names now, as I'm not in front of a pc.

Hello Yong,

As far as I remember, in these cases, you have the X-Forwarded-For:
header, which contains the original host, if this solution is good for
you...

Rgds,
Gergely
