Description Clement Laforet 2003-11-09 21:10:04 UTC 
	Since I need mod_extract_forwarded for apache2 and I can't find any patch, here's mine.

	Description:
	mod_extract_forwarded2 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.
	
	mod_extract_forwarded can be dangerous for host based access control because
	X-Forwarded-For is easily spoofed. Because of this you can configure which
	proxies you trust or don't trust.

How-To-Repeat: 	N/A.
