Re: getRemoteAddr() - APACHE as proxy !! HMMMMM
Hi Eddie, It works for me because I'm not replacing the original address. As I have my own authentication routines, I check the X-FORWARDED-FOR header when it is available, else the usual one. So I never tried to do what you are trying to do, hence I can't help you much, I'm sorry about that. On the other hand, you might try to get in touch with the author of the module, Ask Bjoern Hansen([EMAIL PROTECTED]). He was the one who kindly pointed me to the URL I gave you and he was quite helpful. But if you are trying to do what I think, you might have run out of luck. If you change the original IP inside Apache with mod_perl, or any other module, this doesn't mean that the Orion server will use it when creating the request object. Orion has its own way of constructing the request and it probably uses the IP of the originating call to it, the proxy in this case. To be able to change the way the request is constructed, you should have access to the orion source, as somebody else pointed out, or you might ask the Ironflare guys to add this feature. From the Java point of view, somebody has to read the X-FORWARDED-FOR header IN THE ORION SIDE and take into account, because from the Apache side, you cannot influence the way the Java requests are built on the orion side. If you could modify the request somehow, this would be a nice job for a JSDK2.3 filter. Good luck, D.

Hi, I don't know how it works, but in orion's changes.txt it says 'Added AJP13 support.' for version 1.4.8 . Unfortunately the docs don't mention it at all. As far as I know this is the protocol used by Tomcat to communicate with Apache. Perhaps it solves your problem, leaving you with the problem of getting AJP13 to work ofcourse :).
