Can you get X-forwarded-for from Stud > HAProxy > nginx?

I'm terminating SSL with Stud and forwarding the request to HAProxy which determines if it's a WebSocket connection and either forwards the request to Node.js or to nginx. The problem I'm having is that I cannot seem to get the X-forwarded-for from Stud. When I set write-ip in the stud conf my requests fail.

Is this possible with such a stack?

Solution

  • Stud is a "dumb" proxy, so it can't alter the headers in any way. HAProxy -> Nginx can do what you want certainly.

    An option is pound instead of stud.
