Ostensibly, yes -- that is there is no *prohibition* from doing so but the current setup makes it /technically/ difficult. > If we have to run our own instance, will That allow us to share real ip > addresses? It will; as clients will connect to a web server that is under your administrative control. > Is there some workaround here that I'm missing, or that would be much > simpler? It may be possible to have the client /itself/ report its IP to you with some javascript. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/391979/get-client-ip-using-just-javascript offers some suggestions on how to do so. This is a little tricky but, with suitable user understanding should also be okay. That said, most of those solutions include a third party for reliability so it has implications of its own. > Could this script be hosted elsewhere within WMF? Labs, whether on or outside the tools project, is pretty much the "right" place for this. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
