Difference between Headers

Dear All,

 

Can someone explain me the differences between the below Headers:

 

X-Forwarded-For x-forwarded-for REMOTE_ADDR x-user-addr X-Forward-For X-Download-Receipt

  • those headers are kind of helpers for backend applications/webservers. Some are defacto standards (X-forwarded-for) and some are used for specific applications or vendors. Some made their way in RFCs. Google is your friend here.

     

    Here a good reference: RFC 7239: Forwarded HTTP Extension
