Thanks but app->environment().clientAddress() is still returning the
servers IP address, I put this under the frontend, is that correct?
frontend wt
bind 108.59.251.28:80 # I have two IP address (SSL)
option http-server-close
reqidel ^Client-IP:.*
reqidel ^X-Forwarded-For:.*
option forwardfor
> I dunno what http-server-close is needed for, maybe it is unrelated
here.
>> from link below: BTW, you should replace "option httpclose" with
"option http-server-close", it will enable keep-alive with the clients
and reduce the page load time for those who experience a high latency.
also see http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?10,357873
I tried it without the option http-server-close, no difference, I did
this on two Ubuntu 12.04 LTS servers, with haproxy 1.4 and 1.5 on the
other, both with Wt 3.3.3.
does app->environment().clientAddress() return the correct IP address
for you?
I am using wthttpd only.
Thanks
