Stephen Marquard commented on MH-8616:
--------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For
The general format of the field is:
X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2
where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most
being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request
adding the IP address where it received the request from. In this example, the
request passed proxy1, proxy2 and proxy3 (proxy3 appears as remote address of
the request).
Since it is easy to forge an X-Forwarded-For field the given information should
be used with care. The last IP address is always the IP address that connects
to the last proxy, which means it is the most reliable source of information.
X-Forwarded-For data can be used in a forward or reverse proxy scenario.
> When connecting via a proxy user tracking records the proxy IP
