Nathan Vander Wilt updated COUCHDB-1421:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Wrong X-Forwarded-For address chosen as "peer" (was: Wrong
X-Forwarded-For address chosen as "peer"?)
> Wrong X-Forwarded-For address chosen as "peer"
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1421
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1421
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Nathan Vander Wilt
>
> I noticed that in the Mochiweb code, it uses the last item of the
> X-Forwarded-For list as the peer:
> https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/src/mochiweb/mochiweb_request.erl#L82
> But shouldn't this snag the *first* item of the list instead?
> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-petersson-forwarded-for-02#section-5.2 says
> "the first for-parameter will disclose the user agent where the request first
> was made" — the user agent is what I'd want as an app developer, not the
> second-nearest proxy.
