[web2py] @auth.requires(request.client=='127.0.0.1') doesn't work

[Jurgis Pralgauskis]

hello,
I followed the example from http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Decorators

@auth.requires(auth.user_id==1 or request.client=='127.0.0.1')
def function_six():
    return 'you can read secret documents'

but it doesn't work -- it asks to login anyway.

and just in case I tested with ping and in session names: my localhost
is really 127.0.0.1
