Should be B and D. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/proxy-load-balancer?view=aspnetcore-2.1 "The Forwarded Headers Middleware, from the Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpOverrides package, reads these headers and fills in the associated fields on HttpContext."

We don't. It should be B and D. Http.sys doesn't work with a reverse proxy.
