I am getting the client ip address in every request and checking it against
an access control list which is stored in my database(so that the user can
maintain the ACL's without the assistance of an administrator). These are
the code snippets which are grabbing the IP address:
==== Begin Snippet 1 ====
# Check which method is available and use the correct one. For some
# reason, remote_ip was changed to client_ip in Apache 2.4
if ($connection->can('client_ip')) {
$R->{remote_host} = $connection->client_ip();
} elsif($connection->can('remote_ip')) {
$R->{remote_host} = $connection->remote_ip();
} else {
die("I don't know how to find the client's ip address");
}
==== End Snippet 1 ====
==== Begin Snippet 2 ====
if ($connection->can('client_ip')) { # Apache >= 2.4
return $connection->client_addr->ip_get;
} else { # Apache <= 2.2
return $connection->remote_addr->ip_get;
}
==== End Snippet 2 ====
