Description

In order for HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL to reflect the actual URL used by the user when going through a loadbalancer, we need to enable the embedded Jetty server's support for X-Forwarded Headers.

This will be enabled by a gateway-site.xml config property to preserve backward compatibility and be disabled by default.
