Xe Iaso 276b537776 fix(policy): correctly wire subrequest mode through CEL/path checkers (#1630)
* fix(policy): correctly wire subrequest mode through CEL/path checkers

Previously Anubis only checked for the X-Original-Url when using
subrequest mode. This header is used by the example nginx config to pass
the request path through from the original client request to Anubis in
order to do path-based filtering.

According to facts and circumstances, Traefik hardcodes its own
headers[1]:

```text
httpdebug-1  | GET /.within.website/x/cmd/anubis/api/check
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Method: GET
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Proto: http
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Server: b9a5d299c929
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Port: 8080
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Uri: /
httpdebug-1  | X-Real-Ip: 172.18.0.1
httpdebug-1  | Accept-Encoding: gzip
httpdebug-1  | User-Agent: curl/8.20.0
httpdebug-1  | Accept: */*
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-For: 172.18.0.1
httpdebug-1  | X-Forwarded-Host: localhost:8080
```

As a result, this means that path-based filtering did not work.

This commit fixes this issue by amending how path based checking logic
works:

* For CEL based checks, this pipes through the `subrequestMode` flag from
  main and alters the behaviour if either `X-Original-Url` or
  `X-Forwarded-Url` are found. These values are currently hardcoded for
  convenience but probably need to be made configurable in the policy
  file at a future date.
* For path-based checks, this uses the existing `subrequestMode` flag
  from main and adds `X-Forwarded-Url` to the list of headers it checks.

A smoke test was added to make sure that traefik in this mode continues
to work. Thank you https://github.com/flifloo for filing a detailed
issue with the relevant configuration fragments. Those configuration
fragments formed the core of this smoke test.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

$ yarn

Local Development

$ yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

$ yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

$ USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

$ GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
