add proxy backend src port to r->notes for logging

           Summary: add proxy backend src port to r->notes for logging
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are no hooks in mod_proxy to discover from what src port mod_proxy is
initiating a proxy connection.  This information can be useful for logging
purposes.  I've implemented a patch for both apache-1.3.31 and apache-2.0 HEAD
that accomplishes this.

Here's another example of how this could be useful:

I want to allow CONNECT requests to localhost on port 5000, for proxying
protocol P over port 80.  Application 'MyAPP' listens on port 5000 for protocol
P.  I want MyAPP to know the real source IP/Port that the connection came in on,
but MyAPP and mod_proxy don't know about each other at all.  The only
pseudo-unique shared key between them is the source port used by mod_proxy to
initiate the connection.  If I could run a PerlCleanupHandler that will take the
"proxy_source_port" from r->notes and store it in a database along with the
client_source_port and client_source_ip, then MyAPP could read this from the
database and retrieve the client_source_port and client_source_ip.
