Perlbal::Plugin::TrustHeader - Remove untrusted headers

This module allows you to remove headers unless the client is trusted

You can configure headers to be checked based on each service declared, although the service role has to be set to web_server

For each header you want to check, you have to specify the header name and a list of netmasks to trust. Multiple netmasks are separated by white space

This module provides a Perlbal plugin wich can be loaded and used as follows

    Load TrustHeader

    #TrustHeader <service_name> <header_name> <netmask_list>
    TrustHeader static X-SSL 10.0.0.0/8

    CREATE SERVICE static
        SET ROLE = web_server
        SET plugins = TrustHeader
    ENABLE static

In this case for each response served by the Service static, the header X-SSL will be removed before the request is proxied to the backend unless the client is on the local private network
