# Test reactbin's login rate limiter and demonstrate the XFF injection bypass.
#
# Phase 1: Send 6 bad login attempts in quick succession.
# Attempts 1-5 should return 401 (invalid credentials).
# Attempt 6 should return 429 (rate limited) — the limiter blocks after
# max_failures=5 within the window.
#
# Phase 2: Send a 7th bad attempt with a spoofed X-Forwarded-For header
# pointing at a different IP. If the lockout keys correctly on the trusted
# client IP, this should still return 429 (same client, still locked).
# If reactbin trusts client-supplied XFF blindly, this would return 401
# instead — the spoof would make the request look like a different client
# that hasn't accumulated failures.
#
# Interpretation:
# - 429 on attempt 7 → lockout is correctly identifying the client
# - 401 on attempt 7 → XFF injection succeeded; server treated us as a
# new client because we set a fake XFF
#
# Note: this script is ONLY useful when run against the public origin path
# where XFF spoofing is potentially possible. It does not exercise the
# Cloudflare-proxied path because Cloudflare strips/replaces XFF before
# forwarding to origin.
