    public class ForwardedRequestCustomizer
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements HttpConfiguration.Customizer

    The Eclipse Jetty and Apache Felix Http Jetty packages are no longer supported.
    Customize Requests for Proxy Forwarding.

    This customizer looks at at HTTP request for headers that indicate it has been forwarded by one or more proxies. Specifically handled are

    • Forwarded, as defined by rfc7239
    • X-Forwarded-Host
    • X-Forwarded-Server
    • X-Forwarded-For
    • X-Forwarded-Proto
    • X-Proxied-Https

    If these headers are present, then the Request object is updated so that the proxy is not seen as the other end point of the connection on which the request came

    Headers can also be defined so that forwarded SSL Session IDs and Cipher suites may be customised

    The Authority (host and port) is updated on the Request object based on the host / port information in the following search order.

    Request Authority Search Order
    # Value Origin Host Port Protocol Notes
    1 Forwarded Header "host=<host>" param (Required) "host=<host>:<port> param (Implied) "proto=<value>" param (Optional) From left-most relevant parameter (see rfc7239)
    2 X-Forwarded-Host Header Required Implied n/a left-most value
    3 X-Forwarded-Port Header n/a Required n/a left-most value (only if getForwardedPortAsAuthority() is true)
    4 X-Forwarded-Server Header Required Optional n/a left-most value
    5 X-Forwarded-Proto Header n/a Implied from value Required

    left-most value becomes protocol.

    6 X-Proxied-Https Header n/a Implied from value boolean

    left-most value determines protocol and port.
