Hello,
Trunk branch : mod_remoteip.xml file,
<name>RemoteIPProxyProtocolExceptions</name> directive :
"<usage>
<p>The <directive>RemoteIPProxyProtocol</directive>
directive enables or"
must probably be replaced by :
"<usage>
<p>The
<directive>RemoteIPProxyProtocolExceptions</directive> directive
enables or"
I checked the last pending doc changes and the complete diff is:
+ <p>The <code class="directive">RemoteIPProxyProtocol</code>
directive enables or
+ disables the reading and handling of the PROXY protocol
connection header.
+ Sometimes it is desirable to require clients to provide the
PROXY header, but
+ permit other clients to connect without it. This directive
allows a server
+ administrator to configure a single host or CIDR range of hosts
that may do
+ so. This is generally useful for monitoring and administrative
traffic to a
+ virtual host direct to the server behind the upstream load
balancer.</p>
+
It may need to be explained a bit better but IIUC the paragraph is
saying that since RemoteIPProxyProtocol is a on/off switch,
RemoteIPProxyProtocolExceptions can be used to fine tune exceptions.
OK, it's actually referencing RemoteIPProxyProtocol directive.
Same file : I'm not quite sure to understand the phrase "This is
generally useful for monitoring and administrative
traffic to a virtual host direct to the server behind the
upstream load
balancer."
Definitely not clear, need a bit of rework. Do you have something in
mind to fix it?
As far as I understand it, this directive allows to know client real IP
address, and so better analyse a connection stream ; so, this phrase
could be : "This is generally useful for monitoring network stream
between clients and backend servers situated behind a load balancer"
