This update adds a port descriptor option for enabling Proxy Protocol as well as a whitelist of trusted IP addresses as sources of incoming requests with Proxy Protocol headers. If the the Proxy Protocol is enabled and the PROXY header is prefaced on an incoming request, the remote address is changed internally to reflect the original client IP. This has the side effect of transforming the originating IP address into the Forwarded: header for: field, if proxy.config.http.insert_forwaded is configured with the for: field. This will also facilitate logging of the proper client IP versus the previous hop address, i.e. load balancer.
