Support for disabling xff header append
EG by default sets use-remote-address to true
currently at
https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/blob/14f687fb4fd18b98de654d22119f4e4bd10a71e2/internal/xds/translator/listener.go#L242
while in envoy this is false
by default. My understanding is that as eg is supposed to be the first L7 layer for downstream traffic, hence this has been set to true
.
However in our use case eg is not the first L7 layer, rather its aws ALB due to which ALB private ip gets appended to xff header which we don't want. Hence we want this to be false
or an option to set skip_xff_append
to true
. So it would be nice to have an api to set above two fields.
For anyone else facing the same issue for now you can use below jsonPatch
in EnvoyPatchPolicy
:
jsonPatches:
- type: "type.googleapis.com/envoy.config.listener.v3.Listener"
# The listener name is of the form <GatewayNamespace>/<GatewayName>/<GatewayListenerName>
name: staging/eg-staging/http
operation:
op: add
path: "/default_filter_chain/filters/0/typed_config/skip_xff_append"
value: true
