Hi, This is my current setup in using squid3 as reverse proxy in front of apache: browser (e.g. 202.182.201.3) <----> squid3 stable6 <----> apache 1.3.37 (PHP) My PHP will get the user IP by HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR pass by squid. Now the problem is: 1. if user send a request already contains header of "X_FORWARDED_FOR", Apache will ignore the value set by Squid and will use the client one, so my program will be cheated by the client as the IP can be any specified by client. This only occur in Apache 1.x but not Apache 2.x Any idea? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
