Hello,  
I have a reverse proxy running Flask that needs to check and log the ip of an agent before allowing the connection. Is there a way to make Elastic send the target agent ip along with the CONNECT request? I've seen that I can make Elastic send certain headers to the proxy. Can I maybe reference the agent ip there somehow?
