Thank you, Jonathan, for updating this thread. I was thinking of cleaning up the existing patch and submit it for review.
I agree it's better to get feedback before any work is started. Thanks, Amit -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan S. Fisher <exabr...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, September 4, 2023 9:42 AM To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Subject: Re: [External] Re: Supporting Proxy Protocol in Tomcat CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. If you believe this is a phishing email, use the Report to Cybersecurity icon in Outlook. Mark thank you again for your leadership and setting expectations. I'm going to commit to working on this with anyone else that wants to help with the goal of a patch by year end. I want to nail the patch with minimal rework that meets Tomcat project quality standards. To that end, I'll attempt to summarize what you expect here and if you could comment and correct my understanding that would be appreciated. It sounds like you're satisfied with the ubiquity of the Proxy protocol and that it has an RFC We'll target just implementing the latest version of the Proxy protocol We'll implement a "TrustedProxies" feature similar to what the Remote IP Valve does We'll implement a, or modify the RemoteIp, valve to be able to set the remote IP from Proxy protocol headers We'll follow the RFC spec and reject any request that does a proper Proxy protocol header I'm particularly interested in the Proxy protocol over Unix Domain Sockets, so expect to see a lot of the work focused on this, but accepting Proxy Protocol over TCP looks to be quite important from the comments on this email chain If I may ask two things: Can you summarize your desired implementation? What point in the stack should we target to implement this? One thing I'm not familiar with on Tomcat is the testing expectations. If you can point to a set of unit tests and a set of integration tests and say "Do it like this" Anything else on the original patch you liked/didn't like?
