Hello:

I am using proxy_protocol at Nginx along with TCP/TCP-SSL ELB at AWS.

Client address specified in the PROXY protocol header is now saved in the $proxy_protocol_addr variable and can be used in the realip module. That is great.

But programmers use to check connection along with php variable $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PORT"].

ELB proxy_protocol is sending this information inside the headers... I can look for it at headers using tcpdump:

...x..PD .....2P.9..W..PROXY TCP4 77.224.111.207 192.168.10.182 51449 443

At the end, you may see proxy_protocol is sending out this port information.

Is nginx suppossed to include this port information into a proxy_protocol_* variable?

I really need to know what is the original Port used at PHP... I have had a look at google/nginx and I think developers did include only the remote IP, but not the port.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much.

Can Somebody please shed some light on it. We are really in need of all the details of proxy protocol values.

I have the very same question. Any help would be much appreciated.

For logging you have $remote_addr:$remote_port, can't you pass $remote_port ?

I am having the same problem - I need to detect if the connection is using SSL or not.

I used to use

if ($http_x_forwarded_proto = "http") { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }

but now I switched to proxy_protocol and I'm not seeing a way to detect if SSL is being used. It seems there should be a $proxy_prototcol_proto and/or $proxy_prototcol_port variables but they don't seem to exist.
