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.
