Package Name:
mod_extract_forwarded
Summary:
Extract real source IP for forwarded HTTP requests
Description:
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.
