Re: [pgAdmin][RM4755] pgAdmin does not work behind reverse proxy ifin built server is used as it is

If we can do it automatically at startup based on whether or not the Python code thinks we're running under Desktop mode or not, then I suppose it's a win. That would replace one test per request with one test at startup. It'll still be a minute difference, but every little bit helps I guess.

It is small improvement we can do to avoid overhead of checking headers in each HTTP requests for proxies.

Sure, but is it going to make any real difference? I'd rather have it "just work" if possible.

This isn't like compression which we expect to use noticable CPU cycles.

Hi,

We need to make it configurable, we don't require middleware when we are running in Desktop mode.

Hi Hackers,

Attached is the patch to allow pgAdmin to work behind proxy with its in built server. I have used werkzeug fixer - https://werkzeug.palletsprojects.com/en/0.15.x/middleware/proxy_fix/#module-werkzeug.middleware.proxy_fix

Does this work with both X-Scheme and X-Forwarded-Proto headers as discussed?

The proxy fix work for all standard X-Forwarded-* headers. X-Scheme is not used anywhere, X-Forwarded-Proto is more robust.

Right, but our existing code uses X-Scheme (as per old advice since removed from the Flask website - see RM3149), and users have deployments that will be setup that way. We need to fall back to X-Scheme if it is present but X-Forwarded-Proto is not, to avoid breaking their installations.

 

I assume (as you haven't removed it) that it works in conjunction with the existing reverse proxy code?

Yes it should. 

Cool :-)

 

Thanks!
