To see what HTTP headers Squid is sending you can configure "debug_options 11,2" and look for "HTTP server REQUEST" in cache.log You may want to look into the standard "Forwarded" header for a better long-term solution. <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239> Currently that will need a bit of configuration for Squid to send, but easily done: request_header_add Forwarded "for=%>a" all Amos _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
