X-Forwarded-For

Hi,
I would like to ask if the header X-Forwarded-For is currently supported or not. I did not find any information about this in the documentation I would really like this functionality because exposing the authorization key to public is generally a bad idea.
Thanks in advance for answers.

Hi @Palladium_,
No,
X-Forwarded-Foris not publicly supported as it would let people spoof their IP address.Reply by Palladium_

Ah thought so that it could get massively exploited. Just a shame I spent so much time yesteday on making the reverse proxy server and it's for nothing. Caching in my case is out of question. Would be great if you added information into the documentation, would surely help some people.
Thanks for quick response and have a nice day.
