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.
