Hi Mike,

Thanks, I will look into that. Now, given that I haven't read the Tarreau doc yet, you can tell me to "read the ... manual", but... does PROXY work entirely *within* stunnel? I don't have to add that proxy data in the program that connects to client stunnel, do I?

Work day is almost over and then I can "relax" with that PROXY document.

Regards.

see that there is a patch that allows stunnel to do an initial
modification to the HTTP request to insert a X-Forwarded-For header.
This sounds like what I need to do! I am going to look for that
patch. I hope the source code for the patch is available.

In fact what PROXY protocol provides is an elegant solution to achieve the same goal that used to be achieved with the ugly X-Forwarded-For hack. The PROXY protocol does not modify HTTP headers. In fact it can be used with protocols other than HTTP.
