Topic: checking headers in http_request from reverse web proxy to a

[didds2]

A colleague has asked me to check this out, and I don't know where to start.




We have an Apache/2.2.15 webserver running on a CentOS release 6.5 server.

A virtual host exists


<VirtualHost *:10080>
ServerName test
DocumentRoot /var/www
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR "(.*)$" FORWARDED=$0
RequestHeader set X-Real-IP "%{FORWARDED}e"
SetEnv scheme=http
SetEnvIf HTTPS on scheme=https
RequestHeader set X-Scheme "%{scheme}e"
ErrorLog /opt/cyclone/var/logs/laptopmatchmaker_error.log
CustomLog /opt/cyclone/var/logs/laptopmatchmaker_acess.log combined
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ProxyPass /api http://localhost:18080
ProxyPassReverse /api http://localhost:18080

</VirtualHost>


My colleague has asked me

"how can we check headers in http_request from reverse web proxy to application server "


Can anybody point me in the right direction please? (OR better still just tell me and put me out of my misery

cheers

On the centos server you can use wireshark. Or you can define a new LogFormat for CustomLog instead of combined.
