Bug#807120: Deprecate mod_rpaf, transition to mod_remoteip
Package: apache2
Severity: important
mod_rpaf module has dead upstream (there are alternative
at https://github.com/gnif/mod_rpaf/) and has a good
candidate for replacement in the core modules:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_remoteip.html
Probably, we must coordinate transition from mod_rpaf
to mod_remoteip and then remove mod_rpaf.
Default rpaf.conf could be replaced with:
<IfModule remoteip_module>
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 127.0.0.1
</IfModule>
In general, this mapping should work:
RPAFheader <-> RemoteIPHeader
RPAFproxy_ips <-> RemoteIPTrustedProxy
To get CLF-type logs with proper client addresses we should use %a
instead of %h. Could we alter the default common log format entry?
