Your Windows proxy is not misbehaving. The presence of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] requires that the HTTP request include a header by the name of X-Forwarded-For, an optional header. Also, in many cases, the point of an HTTP proxy is to protect the clients it serves. Exposing the origin IP might not be desirable. With Web development, unless you have complete control over the network between your users and your Web server(s), it is best to rely on the HTTP layer only rather than rely on information obtained from the TCP/IP layer.
