The only proxy protocol patches I'm aware of are those from Cyril Bonté and concern the accept side. I think a backport to act on the send side would be harder to implement though you may want to attempt it. If it's just for an internal policy of deploying only stable versions, we're still working hard trying to finalize the server-side keep-alive so that we can release 1.5. It's more than a few weeks away but could possibly match your needs and save you from a backport. Best regards Willy
