Hi Guys,

I'm using a Reverse proxy in front of my Open BD servers which means
that the ip address of the client in the CGI scope is the IP of one of
my nodes in the HAProxy cluster rather than being the actual IP of the
client. This in itself isn't hugely problematic as its in another cgi
variable called forwarded_for (or similar) but i was wondering whether
it would be possible or desirable to have a configurable switch to
allow Open BD to in the presence of the forwarded_for header to treat
that as the remote IP, useful e.g. for

Restricting debug output to a specific remote client

Or where the application has specific references to the IP in the cgi
scope ?

I know there was another feature request raised recently regarding
debugging templates and I guess if that comes to pass it could be
easily coded in a template.

Obviously the CGI scope itself is not writable so you can't manually
override the data programatically. Is there a specific reason for
this ? Is it to be compatible with ACF or another restriction?

Any thoughts ?

Thanks

Alex
