| Help: Sets client IP in HAProxy PROXY protocol v1 header |
| Protocols: HTTP |
| Added: 8.2.0 |
| Category: http proxy |
| Example: --haproxy-clientip $IP |

| Multi: single |
| --- |
| Sets a client IP in HAProxy PROXY protocol v1 header at the beginning of the |
| connection. |
| |
| For valid requests, IPv4 addresses must be indicated as a series of exactly |
| 4 integers in the range [0..255] inclusive written in decimal representation |
| separated by exactly one dot between each other. Heading zeroes are not |
| permitted in front of numbers in order to avoid any possible confusion |
| with octal numbers. IPv6 addresses must be indicated as series of 4 hexadecimal |
| digits (upper or lower case) delimited by colons between each other, with the |
| acceptance of one double colon sequence to replace the largest acceptable range |
| of consecutive zeroes. The total number of decoded bits must exactly be 128. |
| |
| Otherwise, any string can be accepted for the client IP and will be sent. |
| |
| It replaces `--haproxy-protocol` if used, it is not necessary to specify both flags. |
| |
| This option is primarily useful when sending test requests to |
| verify a service is working as intended. |
