X-Forwarded-For HTTP header behaviour with web dispatcher

[former_member119330]

can anybody specify the behavior of Web Dispatcher regarding the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header?

When a client accesses SAP EP via proxy1, proxy2 and Web Dispatcher in

this order, is it guaranteed that the format of the X-Forwarded-For

HTTP header that I can refer at SAP EP becomes the following forms?

X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2

In other words, is it guaranteed by Web Dispatcher that the rightmost

IP address, proxy2 in this example, is the closest downstream client?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

I suppose it should work this way.

As nobody seems to really know and you need the answer, I suggest that you just make a test.

You sure will know !

Hello,

I could not find any useful descriptions that mention the behavior of X-Forwarded-For HTTP header in that document...

I think as the behavior of X-Forwarded-For HTTP header is being explained by Jane in general, but would like to confirm the behavior of Web Dispatcher is also the same.
