Support one of stud's methods of passing the client IP to the backend

[edevil]

It would be great to support one of stud's methods of passing the client IP to the backend:

      --write-ip             Write 1 octet with the IP family followed by the IP
                             address in 4 (IPv4) or 16 (IPv6) octets little-endian
                             to backend before the actual data
                             (Default: off)
      --write-proxy          Write HaProxy's PROXY (IPv4 or IPv6) protocol line
                             before actual data
                             (Default: off)

backported --http-stud-prefix to 1.4 branch.

The system is simple you add the list of ip addresses (currently only ipv4) from which a stud prefix (--write-ip stud's option) is expected.

--http-stud-prefix 127.0.0.1 --http-stud-prefix 192.168.173.2

will expect a stud prefix on the connections coming from 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.173.2

That was fast! Thanks a lot. I will test it first thing tomorrow.

It seems to be working. Could you also set "wsgi.url_scheme" accordingly? Otherwise apps will not be able to know whether a request was done with SSL or not.

Thanks again!

I think it would be better to directly set the CGI var HTTPS to on, so all of the plugins will benefit from that. As stud is ssl-only i think we are safe (and eventually the user/developer can always change the scheme in its app)

[unbit]

ok, backported the HTTPS management even in 1.4 branch. Let me know if all is ok

[edevil]

It is working perfectly.

Thanks Roberto!

This is done.
