Hello, I updated issue 47330 " proposal : port of mod_remoteip in Tomcat as RemoteIpValve" to link to a Servlet Filter implementation of mod_remoteip called XForwardedFilter. As detailed in the comment, XForwardedFilter.java copyright may not fit the Apache Software Foundation requirements as it is granted to "The original author or authors ..." but it can be changed with pleasure.
Hope this helps, Cyrille -- Cyrille Le Clerc clecl...@xebia.fr cyri...@cyrilleleclerc.com http://blog.xebia.fr On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 11:13 AM, Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > > Elli Albek wrote: > > Hi, > > We have Tomcat behind a load balancer.
