Jetty-Jersey how to handle requests behind reverse proxy?

Question

I'm using:

• Jetty 9.4.12.v20180830
• Jersey 2.28

Is there a recommended way to decorate our web server to handle requests behind a reverse proxy?

Ie relative paths and Location headers do not come out correctly because the proxy has a different host and the routes are different.

I might expect to find filters to handle the (x-)forwarded* headers. For example, I found this one ( qaware/x-forwarded-filter ) but it is not a standard library...

Answer 1

Configure your reverse proxy to provide the Forwarded ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239 ) request header to Jetty.

Then add the ForwardedRequestCustomizer to your HttpConfiguration within your ServerConnector .

That should be it.
