Subject: Mongrel handler doesn't set env[REMOTE_ADDR] with the value of "X-Forwarded-For" header
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:52:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200909131752.14504.ibc@aliax.net> (raw)


Hi, usually when a http proxy routes a request it adds a "X-Forwarded-For: 
CLIENT_IP" to the request so the web server can know the client IP of the 
request.

In fact, using Thin handler, env[REMOTE_ADDR] is set to the value of
X-Forwarded-For header (if present).

However using Mongrel or Webrick handlers it doesn't occur and 
env[REMOTE_ADDR] is set to the http proxy IP.

Anyhow I don't see it described in Rack specifications so perhaps it's not 
mandatory.
