Previously, MIME matching respected the request's wildcards which lead to multiple handlers feeling responsible for a particular request. Now, wildcards coming from the HTTP Request itself are interpreted literally. Additionally, ORY Oathkeeper respected the X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header for matching remote IP addresses. This behavior is now turned off by default because clients were able to fake this header otherwise. It can explicitly be turned on by setting `config.when.#.request.remote_ip.RespectForwardedForHeader: true`. Signed-off-by: aeneasr <aeneas@ory.sh>
