That X-Forwarded-For is a very useful little feature, thanks for doing it Zoran!
But FYI, Gustaf Neumann's original comment mentioned using Pound with OpenACS, and several users have reported that Pound has problems there. I've never used Pound myself, but specifically, they say Pound doesn't work well with any server using "html streaming", which in AOLserver's case I think means ns_write: http://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=109568 Apparently all such pages break with Pound. OpenACS does have a few pages using ns_write by default, and for the occasional page where it makes sense, being able to use ns_write is certainly very useful and important. Never having used or looked at the Pound code, I don't know why it breaks ns_write style pages, but that sure is unfortunate. Oddly, the Pound homepage makes no mention of any Pound mailing list (nor CVS for that matter), so other than emailing the author directly I don't know where you'd ask about this. http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ On Sat, Jul 12, 2003 at 01:50:54AM -0700, SourceForge.net wrote: > Message generated for change (Comment added) made by vasiljevic > You can respond by visiting: > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=353152&aid=770054&group_id=3152 > Submitted By: Zoran Vasiljevic (vasiljevic) > Assigned to: Zoran Vasiljevic (vasiljevic) > Summary: Improve nslog.c to log real remote user > > Initial Comment: > Gustaf Neumann of xotcl writes: > > We are starting to use oacs with a reverse proxy > pound > http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ > to distribute our server load.
