Bug ID: 62300
Summary: mod_remoteip docs don't mention CONN_REMOTE_ADDR
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.33
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: apache.org-and...@snkmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The doc page for mod_remoteip
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_remoteip.html) doesn't mention
that the IP address of the forwarding proxy is available in expressions as the
CONN_REMOTE_ADDR variable. It should do that.
The "Expressions in Apache Server" page
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/expr.html) does mention CONN_REMOTE_ADDR,
with a reference to mod_remoteip.
The two pages call the forwarding proxy address by different names.
mod_remoteip somewhat confusingly calls it "the underlying client IP of the
connection", while the Expressions page calls it "the peer ID address of the
connection." It would help the reader if the docs called that address by the
same name everywhere.
Thanks for your attention!
