Hi All, I am using a Mojolicious service behind an nginx reverse proxy. Within my service I want to record the originating IP of the request, however $controller->tx->remote_address returns the address of the proxy and $controller->tx->original_remote_address returns 127.0.0.1.
When I dump out the values from the mojo controller this is what I get (IP addresses masked for this post) $controller->req->headers->header('X-Forwarded-For') = "[originating IP], [proxy IP]" $controller->tx->remote_address = "[proxy IP]" $controller->tx->original_remote_address = "127.0.0.1" I have read other threads on this issue which suggest that the fix for this issue is to have proxy => 1 in the hypnotoad config. I checked and found that I already had this in my hypnotoad config before I encountered this problem, I additionally tried setting $ENV{MOJO_REVERSE_PROXY} = 1 which also had no effect. It was also suggested that the nginx config should contain the following proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Remote-Port $remote_port; Below is the relevant section cut and pasted from my actual nginx config, and it seems to me that I do at least have the two most relevant lines for the X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers. real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For; real_ip_recursive on; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; As it is right now, I have had to implement a solution where I manually parse the content of $controller->req->headers->header('X-Forwarded-For'). This just doesn't seem right to me. Where am I going wrong? Thanks for your time, Sam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mojolicious" group.
