#1316 new defect

$http_ variables only contain the first field-value

Reported by: vfaronov@… Owned by:

Component: nginx-core Version: 1.13.x
Keywords: Cc:
uname -a: Linux pergamon 4.4.0-83-generic #106-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 26 17:54:43 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Description

The value of the $http_X variable is the field-value of the first request header field named X. Further field-values, if any, are not included in the variable.

For example, given a request like:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Forwarded: for=123.45.67.89
Forwarded: for=234.56.78.90

the value of $http_forwarded is for=123.45.67.89.

A more useful value would be for=123.45.67.89,for=234.56.78.90 (per RFC 7230 § 3.2.2).

Failing that, at least the current behavior should be documented.
