Re: [PR] HRW: Allow using a request header for IP lookups [trafficserver]

["maskit (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

maskit commented on PR #12234:
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/12234#issuecomment-3071407046

   I proposed a universal way to use an IP address from an HTTP header field (or somewhere else). 
   https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/12359
   
   On the PR, I added a new plugin, real-ip, that reads an IP address from an HTTP header field and provides it as client's real IP address. header_rewrite uses the  IP address if INBOUND_IP_SOURCE is set to PLUGIN.
   
   If you want to control things within hrw rules, you can add a hrw operator to call the API and set client's IP address.
   
   
   I think `%{GEO:COUNTRY:X-Client-IP}` is going to be painful if you have a lot of hrw rules because every place that uses IP address needs to be modified.
