Description
Created JIRA based on the discussion on Wildfly forum with Tomaz Cerar - https://developer.jboss.org/message/955142
The undertow has support for propagate the information from "X-Protocol-For" HTTP header to have it available in underlying httpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr() . This is done by ProxyPeerAddressHandler.
However the solution is in some cases not flexible enough. It allows me to either trust all proxies from "X-Protocol-For" header or not trust any proxy at all. The Tomcat has very flexible solution through RemoteIpValve, which allows to configure many things (like list of trusted proxies, local proxies etc). See https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/valves/RemoteIpValve.html .
So wonder if ProxyPeerAddressHandler also shouldn't be more flexible to have support for stuff like this?
