				 When using a proxy server, it is important to ensure that you have configured your application properly. 
			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				-For example, many applications have a load balancer that responds to request for https://example.com/ by forwarding the request to an application server at https://192.168.1:8080 
			 | 
		
	
		
			
				 | 
				 | 
			
			
				-Without proper configuration, the application server can not know that the load balancer exists and treats the request as though https://192.168.1:8080 was requested by the client.

				 To fix this, you can use https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239[RFC 7239] to specify that a load balancer is being used.

				 To make the application aware of this, you need to configure your application server to be aware of the X-Forwarded headers.
