Sorry, figured out that using the client ip in the HTTPConnect is just to
make the the transaction look like it came from the client IP.

Yes, it looks like the API I used wasn't the right one. I got it print the
client address.
But I don't understand why the buffer upload plugin is trying to connect to
the client? After the post data is buffered shouldn't the request be
forwarded to the origin server?

Thanks,
Supraja

Yes, client IP. It sounds like maybe you are printing it in the wrong byte 
order? Make sure to use the right APIs for converting the addr to a string?

HttpConnect in Buffer upload plugin

[supraja sridhar]

Hi ! I have just started using traffic server and I am experimenting with
the buffer-upload plugin. TSHttpConnect uses the address returned by
TSHttpTxnClientAddrGet. My question is, is TSHttpTxnClientAddrGet the IP
address of the client? When I print the return value it looks like this:
client: connecting to 2.0.182.120. I am running ATS as a reverse proxy to a
local web server.

Is it trying to connect to the client? If so, shouldn't the plugin try to
connect to the server instead of the client?

Having said that, the request does reach the web-server.
