Spring-boot: Spring Boot 2.2 migration guide not mentioning deprecated server.use-forward-headers

[wimdeblauwe]

The Spring Boot 2.2 migration guide (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.2-Release-Notes#deprecations-in-spring-boot-22) is not mentioning that server.use-forward-headers is now deprecated. (I noticed it because IntelliJ marked it in my application.properties file).

I found that it is related to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/5677 and has been replaced with server.forward-headers-strategy which has options native, framework or none.

I mainly would like to know what I should use if I have the current setting at true. Should I use native or framework and what is the difference?

Hi @wimdeblauwe , I've just added a note in the section of the wiki you were referring to.
If you'd like to get the exact same experience as before, native is probably the best choice.

However, if you'd like to get a consistent behavior while switching servers, or if you're interested in proper "Forwarded" headers support, the framework option should be of interest.
