Konrad Windszus commented on FELIX-5750:
----------------------------------------
There is a gap though between those two:
The original default of the SSL Filter (i.e. header {{X-Forwarded-SSL: on}} is
not supported by Jetty
Neither is {{X-Forwarded-Protocol: https}} nor is
{{Front-End-Https: on}}
All those headers are listed in FELIX-4330.
The documentation should point out those differences and in the best case there
should be support for those in Jetty natively as well.
> Clarify relation of "Enable Proxy/Load Balancer Connection" Jetty feature and

> Key: FELIX-5750
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5750
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: http.jetty-3.2.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>
> With the addition of FELIX-5207 (documented in
> http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/javadoc/9.4.7.v20170914/org/eclipse/jetty/server/ForwardedRequestCustomizer.html)
> and the SSL Filter (described in
> http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-http-service.html#ssl-filter-configuration-properties
> and
> http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-http-service.html#using-the-ssl-filter)
> it seems that there are two different mechanisms in place to actually
> achieve the same. Please clarify in the documentation how these two relate
> and which one to choose for which use case. Even the SSL filter allows to
> configure the headers since https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4330.
> There is only the small line in the documentation:
> Note: instead of deploying the SSL filter bundle, you can also set the
> org.apache.felix.proxy.load.balancer.connection.enable property to true in
> order to achieve the same effect.
