This document defines an HTTP extension header field that allows
proxy components to disclose information lost in the proxying
process, for example, the originating IP address of a request or IP
address of the proxy on the user-agent-facing interface.  In a path
of proxying components, this makes it possible to arrange it so that
each subsequent component will have access to, for example, all IP
addresses used in the chain of proxied HTTP requests.

This document also specifies guidelines for a proxy administrator to
anonymize the origin of a request.

This document is a product of the Applications Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
