Hello list
I've been struggling a little with varnish 1.1.2 and apache 2.2.3 and
the X-Forwarded-For header.
My problem is that the X-Forwarded-For header keeps returning af comma
separated list of the same IP like this in the apache log:
123.456.789.101, 123.456.789.101 - - [07/May/2008:15:27:03 +0200]
"GET ....etc.
The format I wish I could have is:
123.456.789.101 - - [07/May/2008:15:27:03 +0200] "GET ....etc.
Without , 123.456.789.101 in the log line.
I've used this in my vcl to remove the port number of the first IP in
X-Forwarded-For header:
remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = regsub(client.ip, ":.*$", "");
If I do like this:
set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = "";
The log looks like:
, 123.456.789.101 - - [07/May/2008:15:27:03 +0200] "GET ....etc.
I'm not able to figure out how to remove , 123.456.789.101 from the
log line. Even though I set the X-Forwarded-For header to nothing
through varnish vcl the , 123.456.789.101 is still showing?
My apache 2.2.3 logformat is this:
LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\"
\"%{User-Agent}i\"" varnishlog
Is it because I use varnish and apache on the same server?
I'm using Centos 5.1.
Any help is appreciated :)
