Not getting x-forwarded-for header from alb to service on ECS

Hi Vix,

It appears that you have your ALB configured to append the X-Forwarded-For headers, so those should be at least reaching your endpoint for nodejs to take action.

With nodejs, the headers are seen as an array, so some extraction may be needed there. You could possibly have those headers in an array for nodejs and call out the one you are looking for. ie:request.headers[“X-Forwarded-For”]

There is also some information on Github that may beneficial to check regarding the client IP address if that is truly what you need to key in on.

Hope this helps!
