[jira] [Updated] (FELIX-4908) X-Forward Header support when running
behind a proxy/load balancer
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Martin Petrovsky updated FELIX-4908:
------------------------------------
Description:
It would be nice for Apache Felix ({{org.apache.felix.http.jetty}}) to support the standard set of {{X-Forwarded...}} type headers that are typically required when running behind a reverse proxy or load balancer (see \[1\] & \[2\]. Specifically:
* {{X-Forwarded-For}}
* {{X-Forwarded-Server}}
* {{X-Forwarded-Port}}
* --{{X-Forwarded-Proto}}-- (already supported via FELIX-4330)
so that {{HttpServletRequest}} {{getRemoteHost}}/{{getRemoteAddr}} {{getServerName}}, {{getServerPort}}, {{getScheme}} return the appropriate values that are forwarded by an Apache Proxy/Load balancer. Furthermore, the {{sendRedirect()}} method will need to be amended (to incorporate these values otherwise you will end up with a Tomcat bug like \[4\] & \[5\]).
