NAME

Perlbal::Plugin::ForwardedFor - Rename the X-Forwarded-For header in Perlbal

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

This plugin changes the header Perlbal will use to delcare itself as a proxy.

Usually Perlbal will - perl RFC - add itself to X-Forwarded-For, but this plugins allows you to change that to any header you want, so you could differ Perlbal from other possible proxies the user might have.

In your Perlbal configuration:

    LOAD ForwardedFor

    CREATE SERVICE http_balancer
      SET role      = reverse_proxy
      SET pool      = machines
      SET plugins   = ForwardedFor
      FORWARDED_FOR = X-Perlbal-Forwarded-For

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

load

Register a global hook and check for configuration problems.

register

Register a service hook to run a callback to rewrite the header.

rewrite_header

The function that is called as the callback.

Rewrites the X-Forwarded-For to whatever header name you specified in the configuration file.
