Question - website to show if XFF is enabled?

My ISP's proxy server, proxy.idl.net.au (202.92.102.220) is, as far as I know, running squid. It actually appears to have a current block on en.wikipedia: block log for User:202.92.102.220

Is there a web site that can be used to show whether XFF is enabled or not? A link to such a site would seem useful to include in this article.

(Note that I configured privoxy to not use the proxy due to blocking problems, so log info from this edit wouldn't help.) --AtholM 12:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I know a way

I think that http://whatismyip.com/ will tell you if you are showing the forwarding header. Also PHP's phpinfo() function will dump all HTTP Request headers. Try this google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=%2Bphpinfo+%2BSCRIPT_FILENAME+%2BZend ... Click any of the links in the google result page. Scroll down to "Apache Environment" and read all the headers starting with "HTTP_" and you can read all your headers. (Or of course just search in page for "X_FORWARDED_FOR", and if it doesn't come up then you're not sending that header). Another quick search gave me http://murl.mobi/headers.php - and finally, http://whatismyuseragent.com/ might show the XFF header when it's present. I'm not sure. But at least the raw header dumps from murl.mobi and phpinfo() will tell you. 222.153.223.45 22:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Also interesting, but how to check someone else?

http://www.ip.cc/check-proxy-basic.php and http://www.ip.cc/anonymity-test.php - although they basically told me that they were unable to detect a proxy on my ip (which is very wrong). So how do I find a place where SOMEONE ELSE has logged who is an isn't behind a proxy? 222.153.223.45 22:43, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
