haproxy - v1.5 supports SSL

Probly going to get rid of Stud.
Team is reporting that Stud doesn't seem to include the header "X-Forwarded-For".
Hopefully HaProxy will include it.....

On a side note, there are 3 headers in that same vein:
  1. x-forwarded-for
    1. for identifying the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or load balancer
  2. x-forwarded-host
    1. for identifying the original host requested by the client in the "Host" HTTP request header
  3. x-forwarded-proto
    1. for identifying the originating protocol of an HTTP request, since a reverse proxy (load balancer) may communicate with a web server using HTTP even if the request to the reverse proxy is HTTPS
