org.glassfish.grizzly.http.server.BackendConfiguration

public class BackendConfiguration
extends Object

This configuration might be useful, when Grizzly HttpServer is running behind an HTTP gateway like reverse proxy, load balancer etc... In this situation the HTTP gateway may preprocess initial HTTP request headers, examine them and forward modified HTTP request to a Grizzly HttpServer. For example HTTP request received via HTTPS might be forwarded using plain HTTP (for performance reason), so the protocol and client authentication might be lost when the HTTP request reaches Grizzly HttpServer. Using this configuration object, it's possible to instruct Grizzly HttpServer to use custom HTTP request headers to get information about original protocol used by client, user authentication information etc...

setSchemeMapping

public void setSchemeMapping(String schemeMapping)

Sets the HTTP request header name, whose value (if non-null) would be used to override default protocol scheme picked up by framework during request processing. Pls. note this method resets scheme property if any was set before.

getRemoteUserMapping

public String getRemoteUserMapping()

Returns the HTTP request header name, whose value (if non-null) would be used to set the name of the remote user that has been authenticated for HTTP Request.
