------------------------------------
Summary: SpamFilter should support X-Forwarded-For header in the
banlist
Key: JSPWIKI-804
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-804
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Filters
Affects Versions: 2.10
Environment: NA
Reporter: Harry Metske
Assignee: Harry Metske
Fix For: 2.10
Currently the SpamFilter only supports banning based on IP address of the
client (as gotten from the HttpRequest.getRemoteAddr() ).
If you are behind a proxy or loadbalancer, chances are that you get the address
of the proxy or lb instead of the real client IP address.
Therefore the X-Forwarded-For request header could be used.
