Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: squid
Squid 2.6 shipped with edgy is not built with
-DFOLLOW_X_FORWARDED_FOR option
X_FORWARDED_FOR is one of the new features of squid 2.6 over 2.5
# Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
# find the original source of a request.
#
# Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
# before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
# comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
# rightmost address being the most recent.
#
# If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
# configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
# to see where that host received the request from. If the
# X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
# acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
# until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
# follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
# address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
# it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
# X-Forwarded-For addresses.)
Squid 2.6 should be built with this option.
Best regards
