Module forwarded 

Strict extraction of untrusted client IP assertions from Forwarded.

extract_header_forwarded_for implements the crate’s deliberately narrow use of the standardized field: every field element must contain a usable for= IP address, and the resulting chain remains untrusted. Effective A feature-gated client_ip::extract_client_ip convenience can select from this and other fields, but that selection does not establish trust.

The field grammar is defined by RFC 7239, Section 4, the for parameter by RFC 7239, Section 5.2, node identifiers by RFC 7239, Section 6, and the trust limitations by RFC 7239, Section 8. This crate implements only the subset needed to produce a continuous IP chain, not the full RFC object model.
