[squid-users] squid-users Digest, Vol 70, Issue 27

[Monika Avalur]

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
