Add HTTP load balancer with X-Forwarded-For support for cluster mode

[Copilot]

Implementing HTTP load balancer to fix issue #67 - client IP forwarding in cluster mode

• [x] Create HTTP-based load balancer that adds X-Forwarded-For headers
• [x] Add configuration option to select between TCP and HTTP load balancer
• [x] Update LoadBalancer interface to support HTTP mode
• [x] Add tests for HTTP load balancer functionality
• [x] Update cluster configuration to use HTTP load balancer when appropriate
• [x] Create example configuration and documentation
• [x] Manually verify the solution works end-to-end
• [x] Address all code review feedback
• [x] Ensure deno fmt, lint, and check pass

Solution Summary

Added HTTP load balancer support to fix issue #67 where remoteAddr.hostname was always 127.0.0.1 in cluster mode.

Key Changes

• New LoadBalancerType enum with TCP and HTTP options
• HTTP load balancer adds X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers
• Configuration option balancerType (defaults to "tcp" for backward compatibility)
• Comprehensive tests and documentation

Verified Working

✓ X-Forwarded-For header correctly added with client IP ✓ X-Real-IP header correctly added
✓ Existing X-Forwarded-For headers properly appended to ✓ Round-robin load balancing works correctly ✓ All code review feedback addressed ✓ Formatting, lint, and type check passed

Usage

{
  "cluster": {
    "balancerType": "http"
  }
}

Fixed in 52ff3ad. All files now pass deno fmt --check and deno lint with no errors in the modified files.

[!WARNING]

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• jsr.io
  • Triggering command: deno lint (dns block)
  • Triggering command: deno lint lib/core/loadbalancer.ts lib/core/cluster.ts lib/core/configuration.ts lib/workers/loadbalancer.js test/core/loadbalancer.test.ts test/core/loadbalancer-http.test.ts docs/src/examples/http-cluster/ (dns block)
  • Triggering command: deno lint lib/core/loadbalancer.ts lib/core/cluster.ts lib/core/configuration.ts lib/workers/loadbalancer.js test/core/loadbalancer.test.ts test/core/loadbalancer-http.test.ts docs/src/examples/http-cluster/server.ts (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
