Hello,

 

which variables are supported in ICAP headers of an ICAP profile? Is there a list somewhere?

 

The only reference I have found is the following: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiProxy/Technical-Tip-ICAP-header/ta-p/208749

 

In particular, is it possible to supply the `X-Client-IP` header to the ICAP server with the IP address of the web proxy client, when used as security profile inside a proxy policy?

 

Thank you in advance.
