NAME

       Perlbal::Plugin::XFFExtras - Perlbal plugin that can optionally add an X-Forwarded-Port
       and/or X-Forwarded-Proto header to reverse proxied requests.

SYNOPSIS

           # in perlbal.conf

           LOAD XFFExtra

           CREATE POOL web
               POOL web ADD 10.0.0.1:80

           CREATE SERVICE proxy
               SET role                        = reverse_proxy
               SET listen                      = 0.0.0.0:80
               SET pool                        = web

               SET plugins             = XFFExtras

               SET send_backend_port   = yes
               SET send_backend_proto  = yes
           ENABLE proxy

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin adds optional headers to be sent to backend servers in reverse proxy mode.

HEADERS

       •   X-Forwarded-Port

           This header will contain an integer value indicating the port that the peer connected
           to.  This will correspond to the port number specified on the listen line of the
           perlbal service that initially handled the connection.

       •   X-Forwarded-Proto

           This header will contain a string indicating the protocol the client connected to
           perlbal via. Currently this will be either 'http' or 'https'.
