Description
When configuring a tile server with ModTileEnableTileThrottlingXForward=1, I didn't get any answer when using X-Forwarded-for, but the same request without this header worked correctly. As soon as I changed the server configuration to ModTileEnableTileThrottlingXForward=0, the request worked correctly.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with ModTileEnableTileThrottlingXForward=1 using the provided curl request, then compare it with the same request without X-Forwarded-For and with the setting disabled. Trace the module's handling of the X-Forwarded-For header and confirm that proxied tile requests receive a normal response without breaking direct requests.
