- This is upgraded version of 1.4 (by non-original author), but is not same as www/mod_extract_forwarded2 port (was forked from 1.x by another author). - I'm not sure we should upgrade like this (upgrade 1.4 to forked 2.0.2), but it seems original web site is disappeared, so I think we should do. - This version does not support Apache 1.3.x versions. If someone need old version of this port, I'll prepare www/mod_extract_forwarded1 port after repocopy.

mod_extract_forwarded hooks itself into Apache's header parsing phase and looks
|
|
for the X-Forwarded-For header which some (most?) proxies add to the proxied
|
|
HTTP requests. It extracts the IP from the X-Forwarded-For and modifies the
|
|
connection data so to the rest of Apache the request looks like it came from
|
|
that IP rather than the proxy IP.
|
|
|
|
mod_extract_forwarded can be dangerous for host based access control because
|
|
X-Forwarded-For is easily spoofed. Because of this you can configure which
|
|
proxies you trust or don't trust.
