Avoid adding 'Forwarded' and 'X-Forwarded-For' headers from client code
Adding the
Forwarded
andX-Forwarded-For
headers directly from the client side is not recommended. These headers are intended to be set by intermediary proxies to inform the server about the original client's IP address and protocol. When clients set these headers themselves, it can lead to security issues such as IP spoofing, as servers cannot trust the values provided.Instead, servers typically derive the client's IP address from the network layer. If there's a need to pass client-specific information, consider using custom headers with appropriate validation on the server side.

I also believe it's not a good practice to add these headers. BTW, why is this feature needed?

@nobodyiam, the purpose of this feature appears to be to include the client's IP address in the HTTP requests made by the OpenAPI client. This might be intended for the server to perform tasks such as logging, auditing, or applying IP-based access controls based on the client's real IP.
However, as you've mentioned, adding the
Forwarded
andX-Forwarded-For
headers directly from the client side is not recommended due to security concerns like IP spoofing. These headers are traditionally set by proxies or load balancers, and servers typically cannot trust these headers when they originate from clients.It might be beneficial to discuss with the contributor to understand the specific use case they are trying to address. If there is a legitimate need to pass client-specific information, perhaps implementing a secure method such as using custom headers with proper authentication or tokens would be a better approach.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist with.
