NAME

Apache2::Connection::XForwardedFor - Sets the connection remote_ip to X-Forwarded-For header

SYNOPSIS

PerlPostReadRequestHandler Apache2::Connection::XForwardedFor

Meanwhile in another mod_perl handler...

$client_ip = $r->connection->remote_ip;

DESCRIPTION

This simple module takes the X-Forwarded-For header value and sets the remote_ip attribute of the connection object with that ip. This module is meant to be used with reverse proxies where the proxy sets the header to the ip of the http client.

This module doesn't have any fancy features like similar modules, it is meant to be short and to the point, and have some test coverage.
