        Coldfusion is clearly wrong, as the correct format for
        non-standard headers is X-... and it is very unlikely
        that anyone would standardise a header beginning X_.

        However, these are product specific headers, and you should
        only use them across different products at your own risk.
        Note. If this feature ever worked, it is probably because
        yet another product sends an invalid header.

        Note that CGI interfaces may change -s in the headers to
        _s in the environment variables, however they also upshift
        all the letters, so you would get HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
