Description
Would be nice if Nginx supported Proxy protocol in core: http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt
Found some patches though:

+1 We're losing the client's ip if we put haproxy in front of nginx with SSL termination _and_ SPDY support, for that haproxy has to act in TCP mode and can't add an X-Forwarded-For header.

+1 similar use case: using aws elb -> nginx on instances which proxy back to various services; used the suggested patch and got mixed results (seems unstable)

+1 for this. There is already a solution: https://wiki.bedis.eu/nginx/nginx_proxy_protocol_patch
It would be so great to merge that patch.

The patch in question needs to be greatly improved before it can be merged.

Is anyone working on getting this integrated? I'd be happy to help. Please let me know what needs to be improved in order to get it merged.

+1 for this feature from me as well. It would be incredibly useful for websocket applications running behind an Amazon ELB, or instances where you need to use an ELB but want SPDY support with your application.

+1 from me too.
Nate, I'm not familiar enough with C and nginx to help, but the proxy patch does work but generates _a lot_ of warnings though it works well. Maybe a good first step would be to look into them?
+1 on this, Amazon ELBs also support this feature now:
