Hello Amos,
Thank you so much for your reply.
So my use case is, in my application I have a switch which when turned ON, reads the client IP address from the header I configured in the application (i.e. X-Forwarded-For in Squid) and based on it some rules are triggered.
If the switch is turned off, it uses proxy IP and based on it some other set of rules are triggered.
I want to establish this scenario using Squid proxy. But not sure whether Squid is sending the header.
Thanks,
Monika

Hello,
I am using squid proxy to test some application in my company.
I have a use cases where I need to use the X-Forwarded-For header from
squid proxy
I tried by editing the squid configuration file and including
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
forwarded_for on
follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost
But still I am unable to see the HTTP header in chrome.
While I looked up the documentation, it said requires
--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for.
Can some one tell me how can I enable it?
It's sort of urgent.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Monika

Enables the header to be sent to servers. Only relevant on intercepted
traffic.

Processes headers *received* from client.

This is a header sent to *servers*. Browser will never see it.

What use exactly are you needing to use this header for?
