To ensure that the Symfony Router generates urls correctly with Varnish,
183-
proper ```X-Forwarded``` headers must be added. Headers depend on how you
184-
have configured hosts and ports for the web server and Varnish but this
185-
example should work if the web server is using the same IP as Varnish but
186-
a different port (e.g. 8080).
183+
proper ```X-Forwarded``` headers must be added so that Symfony is aware of
184+
the original port number of the request. Exactly how this is done depends
185+
on your setup. As a simple example, Varnish and your web server are on the
186+
same machine and that Varnish is listening on one port (e.g. 80) and Apache
187+
on another (e.g. 8080). In this situation, Varnish should add the ``X-Forwarded-Port``
188+
header so that the Symfony application knows that the original port number
189+
is 80 and not 8080.
190+
191+
If this header weren't set properly, Symfony may append ``8080`` when generating
192+
absolute URLs:
