1. Introduction
HTTP intermediaries - including both forward proxies and gateways
(also known as "reverse proxies") - have become an increasingly
significant part of HTTP deployments. In particular, reverse proxies
and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) form part of the critical
infrastructure of many Web sites.
Typically, HTTP intermediaries forward requests towards the origin
server and then forward their responses back to clients. However, if
an error occurs, the response is generated by the intermediary
itself.
HTTP accommodates these types of errors with a few status codes; for
example, 502 Bad Gateway and 504 Gateway Timeout. However,
experience has shown that more information is necessary to aid
debugging and communicate what's happened to the client.
Additionally, intermediaries sometimes want to convey additional
information about their handling of a response, even if they did not
generate it.
To enable these uses, Section 2 defines a new HTTP response header
field to allow intermediaries to convey details of their handling of
a response, and Section 2.2 defines a set of Proxy Error Types for
use when a proxy generates the response. Section 2.3 explains how to
define new Proxy Error Types.

Internet-Draft Proxy-Status March 2020
1.1. Notational Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
This specification uses Structured Headers
[I-D.ietf-httpbis-header-structure] to specify syntax. The terms sh-
param-list, sh-item, sh-string, sh-token and sh-integer refer to the
structured types defined therein.
Note that in this specification, "proxy" is used to indicate both
forward and reverse proxies, otherwise known as gateways. "Next hop"
indicates the connection in the direction leading to the origin
server for the request.
2. The Proxy-Status HTTP Header Field
The Proxy-Status HTTP response header field allows an intermediary to
convey additional information about its handling of a response and
its associated request.
It is a Structured Headers [I-D.ietf-httpbis-header-structure] List
of parameterised Tokens:
Cache-Status = sh-list
Each member of the list represents an intermediary that has handled
the response. The first member of the list represents the
intermediary closest to the origin server, and the last member of the
list represents the intermediary closest to the user agent.
For example:
Proxy-Status: FooProxy, ExampleCDN
indicates that this response was handled first by FooAccelerator and
then ExampleCDN.
Parameters on each member convey additional information about that
intermediary's handling of the response; see Section 2.1 for defined
parameters.
Intermediaries determine when it is appropriate to add the Proxy-
Status header field to a response. Some might decide to add it to
all responses, whereas others might only do so when specifically
Nottingham & Sikora Expires September 2, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Proxy-Status March 2020
configured to, or when the request contains a header that activates a
debugging mode.
When adding a value to the Proxy-Status header field, intermediaries
SHOULD preserve the existing contents of the header, to allow
debugging of the entire chain of intermediaries handling the request.
The list members identify the intermediary that inserted the value,
and MUST have a type of either sh-string or sh-token. Depending on
the deployment, this might be a product or service name (e.g.,
ExampleProxy or "Example CDN"), a hostname ("proxy-3.example.com"),
and IP address, or a generated string.
Each member of the list can also have a number of parameters that
describe that intermediary's handling of the request. While all of
these parameters are OPTIONAL, intermediaries are encouraged to
provide as much information as possible.
Proxy-Status MAY be sent in HTTP trailers, but - as with all trailers
- it might be silently discarded along the path to the user agent, so
this SHOULD NOT be done unless it is not possible to send it in
headers. For example, if an intermediary is streaming a response and
the upstream connection suddenly terminates, Proxy-Status can be
appended to the trailers of the outgoing message (since the headers
have already been sent).
Note that there are various security considerations for
intermediaries using the Proxy-Status header field; see Section 4.
Origin servers MUST NOT generate the Proxy-Status header field.
2.1. Proxy-Status Parameters
This section lists parameters that can be used on the members of
Proxy-Status.
2.1.1. origin
The "origin" parameter's value is a sh-string or sh-token that
identifies the origin server selected (and used, if contacted) for
this response. Its contents might be a hostname, IP address, or
alias.
This is most useful for gateways (also known as "reverse proxies"),
since they are often configured to use an origin server other than
that which appears in the URL, and sometimes they use several origins
to serve a given site.
Nottingham & Sikora Expires September 2, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Proxy-Status March 2020
For example:
Proxy-Status: cdn.example.org; origin=backend.example.org
2.1.2. fwd-protocol
The "fwd-protocol" parameter's value is a sh-token indicating the
ALPN protocol identifier [RFC7301] used by the intermediary to
connect to the next hop. This is only applicable when that
connection was actually established.
For example:
Proxy-Status: "proxy.example.org"; fwd-protocol=h2
2.1.3. error
The "error" parameter's value is a sh-token that is a Proxy Error
Type. When present, it indicates that the response was generated by
the proxy, not the origin server or any other upstream server.
Section 2.2 lists the Proxy Error Types defined in this document; new
ones can be defined using the procedure outlined in Section 2.3.
For example:
HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Timeout
Proxy-Status: SomeCDN; error=connection_timeout
indicates that this 504 response was generated by SomeCDN, due to a
connection timeout when going forward.
Or:
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Proxy-Status: SomeReverseProxy; error=http_request_error
indicates that this 429 Too Many Requests response was generated by
the intermediary, not the origin.
Each Proxy Error Type has a Recommended HTTP Status Code. When
generating a HTTP response containing "error", its HTTP status code
SHOULD be set to the Recommended HTTP Status Code. However, there
may be circumstances (e.g., for backwards compatibility with previous
behaviours) when another status code might be used.

Internet-Draft Proxy-Status March 2020
2.1.4. details
The "details" parameter's value is a sh-string containing additional
information not captured anywhere else. This can include
implementation-specific or deployment-specific information.
For example:
Proxy-Status: ExampleProxy; error="http_protocol_error";
details="Malformed response header - space before colon"

2.3. Defining New Proxy Error Types
New Proxy Error Types can be defined by registering them in the HTTP
Proxy Error Types registry.
Registration requests are reviewed and approved by a Designated
Expert, as per [RFC8126], Section 4.5. A specification document is
appreciated, but not required.
The Expert(s) should consider the following factors when evaluating
requests:
o Community feedback
o If the value is sufficiently well-defined
o If the value is generic; vendor-specific, application-specific and
deployment-specific values are discouraged
Registration requests should use the following template:
o Name: [a name for the Proxy Error Type that is matches sh-token]
o Description: [a description of the conditions that generate the
Proxy Error Type]
o Extra Parameters: [zero or more optional parameters, along with
their allowable type(s)]
o Recommended HTTP status code: [the appropriate HTTP status code
for this entry]
See the registry at https://iana.org/assignments/http-proxy-statuses
[4] for details on where to send registration requests.

3. IANA Considerations
Upon publication, please create the HTTP Proxy Error Types registry
at https://iana.org/assignments/http-proxy-statuses [5] and populate
it with the types defined in Section 2.2; see Section 2.3 for its
associated procedures.
4. Security Considerations
One of the primary security concerns when using Proxy-Status is
leaking information that might aid an attacker. For example,
information about the intermediary's configuration and back-end
topology can be exposed.
As a result, care needs to be taken when deciding to generate a
Proxy-Status header. Note that intermediaries are not required to
generate a Proxy-Status header field in any response, and can
conditionally generate them based upon request attributes (e.g.,
authentication tokens, IP address).
Likewise, generation of all parameters is optional.
