What does this PR do?
Trims whitespace from
X-Forwarded-For
header values.Motivation
In case there are multiple comma-separated values for the XFF header, there might be trailing whitespace after the comma e.g.
If that's the case, then
net.parseIP
will returnnil
and the whitelist check will fail.This situation was not caught by the test since the fixture:
listed the matching IP as the first value in the comma separated value, hence not testing the second value (
10.2.3.1
) which contains the whitespace.More
