WEB: X-Forwarded-For insert with custom header name?

[PatrWeic]

Hi,

Is it really true, that WEB cannot add custom X-Forwarded-For header directly using X-Forwarded-For Rule?

One must use url rewriting with variable $CLIENT_IP?

Thx

Hi Patrick,

FWB does support both XFF parsing and insertion.

Q: Only with the URL Rewriting can we have a free form X-Forwarded-For Header name, right?

>no, XFF can custom it (Use X-Header to Identify Original Client's IP)

Q: Also it seems like you will add IP addresses if the header already exists (in XFF rule) but what if you just want to replace the value with the single IP that FWEB receives.

>?? XFF?? rule is to add FWB IP@ as next hop (with or without XFF inserted before)

Q: Seems like URL Rewriting will maybe do it?

> no need
