Bypass mod_access when using a reverse proxy and X-Forwared-For

Submitted by fser on Sun, 12/01/2013 - 21:16

If you intend to use a reverse proxy in front of an apache webserver, the IP seen by apache is the one from the reverse proxy.
This breaks the access rules policies from apache2 (for instance `allow from 88.233.222.106`).

A proposed solution for this problem is the use of a `SetEnvIf` directive.

In pratice, this solution is not secured, because a malicious user can easilly craft an http header to add such a header.
