Equivalent for HAProxy's option forwardfor/close in Pound

  • 772

I'm switching from HAProxy to Pound and I need to know if there is an equivalent of

option forwardfor
option httpclose

in Pound.

BTW, I'm already using the

HeadRemove "X-Forwarded-For"

in Pound.

Thanks

haproxy pound

  1. Looks like Pound does this by default. From http://www.apsis.ch/pound/

    As a general rule, Pound passes all headers as they arrive from the client browser to the back-end server(s). There are two exceptions to this rule: Pound may add information about the SSL client certificate (as described below), and it will add an X-Forwarded-For header. The general format is:

        X-Forwarded-for: client-IP-address

    My problem was that the application (OpenStack) wasn't using the X-Forwarded-for header by default. I set

    --use_forwarded_for=True

    and problem solved.
