Re: [stunnel-users] xforwardedfor in config

I am new to stunnel and the ssl world. I'm trying to get stunnel to work with haproxy for load balancing https requests. In the haproxy documentation it says that the stunnel.conf should look like this

cert=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
setuid=stunnel
setgid=proxy

socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1

[https]
accept=192.168.1.1:443
connect=192.168.1.1:80
xforwardedfor=yes

You're probably reading documentation from someone who's patched stunnel to support X-Forwarded-For.

Quick google finds the following in some haproxy documentation above a snippet like yours:

"By default, stunnel does not process HTTP and does not add any X-Forwarded-For header, but there is a patch on the official haproxy site to provide this feature to recent stunnel versions."

I'd suggest you find and apply that patch if that's the road down which you wish to go.
