Add Forwarded HTTP header for TP proxy and logs #7289

Open
@jhg03a

Description

@jhg03a

This Improvement request (usability, performance, tech debt, etc.) affects these Traffic Control components:

  • Traffic Portal
  • Traffic Ops

Current behavior:

It's not possible to know from TO access logs who the client was when it's passing through the TP proxy.

New behavior:

TP should set the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header, if not already set somehow, when operating as a proxy. TO should include this in its access logs additionally so you can find client sources that pass through TP or go direct to TO.
