WSGITrustedProxies

Description:

Specify a list of trusted proxies.

Syntax:

WSGITrustedProxies address|(address-1 address-2 …)

Context:

server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess

Override:

FileInfo

Used to specify the IP addresses of proxies placed in front of the Apache instance whose forwarding headers should be honoured. When a request arrives from a peer in this list, the headers named by WSGITrustedProxyHeaders are used to recover the original client information (remote address, scheme, host, etc.) instead of the peer-level connection details.

Each entry may be a single IP address or a CIDR range:

WSGITrustedProxies 10.0.0.5 192.168.0.0/16

This directive only has effect when used in conjunction with the WSGITrustedProxyHeaders directive. For more details see the documentation for the WSGITrustedProxyHeaders directive.
