573	Reloading config with differently cased proxy_set_header field name does not change field name in proxied request	Oliver Friedrich		"Today, I was pulling my hair out because I wanted to change my **wrong** X-Forwarded-For configuration from

{{{
proxy_set_header    X_FORWARDED_FOR    $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}}}
to the **correct** version
{{{
proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For    $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}}}

I tried reloading the config using `service nginx relaod` a few times but without success.

The solution that finally worked was to comment the above line completely, reload the configuration, uncomment the corrected version and reload again. Now, the rewritten requests contain the **X-Forwarded-For** header instead of the wrong X_FORWARDED_FOR one.

Since I don't know nginx's source I cannot tell what scope this problem has - it might be a larger problem, altogether."	defect	closed	minor		nginx-core	1.5.x	worksforme			"Linux o071.orange.fastwebserver.de 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 22 00:31:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
