  • ?string $proto: The $headers['x-forwarded-proto'] value, if any.

1.1.9.2. $forwarded

The $forwarded property is a readonly ValueCollection of Sapien\Request\Header\Forwarded objects.

Each Forwarded object has the following readonly properties computed from the $headers['forwarded'] element:

  • ?string $by: The interface where the request came in to the proxy server.

  • ?string $for: Discloses information about the client that initiated the request.

  • ?string $host: The original value of the Host header field.
