Issue:
x-forwarded-for
http header just shows 127.0.0.1 instead of the original ip
Setup
- GKE
- gitlab ingress controller
Details
I tried to adapt the ingress rule with nginx CORS enablement but no success.
Here my ingress Annotation for the service:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers: X-Forwarded-For
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods: PUT, GET, POST, OPTIONS
And here the output via echoheaders app:
