+@item pretend-request-origin
+This option switches the connection into a restricted mode which
+handles all further commands in the same way as they would be handled
+when originating from the extra or browser socket.  Note that this
+option is not available in the restricted mode.  Valid values for this
+option are:
+
+  @table @code
+  @item none
+  @itemx local
+  This is a NOP and leaves the connection in the standard way.
+
+  @item remote
+  Pretend to come from a remote origin in the same way as connections
+  from the @option{--extra-socket}.
+
+  @item browser
+  Pretend to come from a local web browser in the same way as connections
+  from the @option{--browser-socket}.
