I am building my own load balancer in C++. But I lack some fundamental knowledge of how requests/responses flow in such routing configuration.
Suppose I have application at www.application.com and that DNS returns ip-address of Load balancer when requested. Client's ip is client_ip, balancer's one is balancer_ip and server's - server_ip. So here is sequence of packets generated in a network:

1) The first packet is generated by client requesting load balancer:

+-----------+-------------+---------+

|  Source   | Destination | Request |

+-----------+-------------+---------+

| client_ip | balancer_ip | /hello  |

+-----------+-------------+---------+

2) The second one is generated by balancer making request to server and putting client_ip into X-Forwarded-For header:

+-------------+-------------+---------+-----------------+

|   Source    | Destination | Request | X-Forwarded-For |

+-------------+-------------+---------+-----------------+

| balancer_ip | server_ip   | /hello  | client_ip       |

+-------------+-------------+---------+-----------------+

3) The server is receives request and makes response back to load balancer. X-Forwarded-For remains the same.

+-----------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+

|  Source   | Destination |     Response     | X-Forwarded-For |

+-----------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+

| server_ip | balancer_ip | response_message | client_ip       |

+-----------+-------------+------------------+-----------------+

4) Balancer receives response from server and creates its own response back to client, by taking client's ip-address from X-Forwarded-For header and putting it into destination:

+-------------+-------------+------------------+

|   Source    | Destination |     Response     |

+-------------+-------------+------------------+

| balancer_ip | client_ip   | response_message |

+-------------+-------------+------------------+

Suppose all communcation is performed in HTTP. Is this a correct way of performing redirects between client - load balancer - server? I have looked through standard request/response fields and X-Forwarded-For wasn't in the list of standard and non-standard responses. Also if this is the correct way, won't such popular frameworks such as Spring, Django, Node.js discard X-Forwarded-For header?
