Client IP adresses may be unintentionally exposed via X-Forwarded-For headers.
When httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP is called with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy sets the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its documentation.
In the more usual case where a Director function sets the X-Forwarded-For header value to nil, ReverseProxy leaves the header unmodified as expected.
