add req.http.x-forwarded-for header

[Dridi Boukelmoune]

Hi,

I think varnishncsa reads the information in the shared memory log
*before* your modification in the VCL. I can't test right now but if
you follow both varnishlog and varnishncsa you might understand what
happens.

I have no idea if it would actually work but you could try to issue a
restart to see whether it affects varnishncsa.

if (!req.http.X-Forwarded-For) {
    set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip;
    return(restart);
}

Best Regards,
Dridi
