2.2.6.24 X-Proxy-Client-Agent

  • Article

The X-Proxy-Client-Agent header is sent by intermediate devices (such as proxy servers) and specifies the information that the original client who initiated the RTSP request specified in the User-Agent header.

Because each intermediate device replaces the information on the User-Agent header with its own information, the X-Proxy-Client-Agent header enables the information on the original User-Agent header to be preserved and forwarded across possibly multiple intermediate devices to the server.

This header is defined only for requests sent to a server by an intermediate device, such as a proxy server that is acting as a client.

The syntax of the X-Proxy-Client-Agent header is as follows:

 X-Proxy-Client-Agent = "X-Proxy-Client-Agent: " 
                         user-agent-data      ; defined in section 2.2.6.9.
