Re: Ip Address On Outbound
Not long ago, John Buwa proclaimed... I havea question on outbound ips. I am writing a program that a user can enter an address and a spider will go and retrieve only the information that was request and then display the results to the enquiring user. My question is though, i have grabed the users ip address as the initiator of the request and i would like to use that ip address (The users) to send the http request instead of my systems addres. How would i changed outgoing requests to reflect the invoking users ip and not my systems ip? Being as how the IP address is part of the TCP/IP protocols and not HTTP, I can't see how Apache (or mod_perl) can do anything about that. You can't spoof IPs at the application layer if you're doing network transactions. -=Fozz -- - Doran L.

You can't just change the ip you use to connect to other systems... But you may have some luck in using the Via: and X-Forwarded-For: headers: GET / HTTP/1.0 Via: 1.0 agent.mydmn.net:3128 (Yet Another Agent/0.0.1.0a) X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.0.1 Regards, Luciano Rocha -- Luciano Rocha, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The trouble with computers is that they do what you tell them, not what you want. -- D.
