Hi guys, 'Just need some suggestion on an issue I'm currently faced with.
Our application uses an IP-based geotargetting software in enforcing which parts of the world our service can only be accessed. We've had a fair amount of success doing this.. but recently we found problems relating to transparent proxies like NetApp NetCache, abd SQUID (most likely, we had this problem before but we received complaints from our customers juist recently). Apparently, SQUID, NetApp NetCache, and other transparent proxies replace the REMOTE_ADDR header with the IP of the the proxy. Furthermore, the proxy adds a couple of other X- header entries like X-Forwarded-For, and X-Client-IP. We can handle this issue in the application code, but it doesn't look consistent with other transparent proxies.. there must be an elegant way of handling this issue. Anybody know how this issue can be attacked? stay cool. jeff -- -- Jeff Gutierrez Pinoy Ako! May reklamo?
