Do forwarded for headers work? #300

Closed sr258 closed 2 years ago

sr258 commented 2 years ago

I'm thinking about replacing my current custom NGINX reverse proxy setup with https-portal.

My NGINX config sets these headers:

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP       $proxy_protocol_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_protocol_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host XXXX

Will https-portal also set these headers? The application behind the reverse proxy relies on them being set.

Some of them. See here.

Alright, thanks for pointing me to the information. Turns out the X-Forwarded-Host is not needed when https-portal sets the host.
