I would be interested in seeing what info is returned when I look at
the tags on your server - this is on your Linux box is it? However, I
think this issue is one for With since they need to explain how it
works for us.
Phil - any clues?

Did this thread get resolved or dropped?
This sure looks like a bug to me, because both address and ip give me the
ip address of the firewall to which my website is mapped (via CNAME)
rather than the address and ip of the client.
I've run the request in browsers on both the server and a client within
our firewall, both of which have valid A and PTR records.
This is a problem for me, because I need to have a backdoor for a server
cron job (a swish-e indexing spider that builds an index for each URL
that the application hosts). I need to have an appfile that validates
the spider based on it's IP address (either 127.0.0.1 or the private
address on the LAN). Then it gives it a link to the index.taf page at
which indexing actually starts.
If witango can't validate, then I guess I will use apache directives to
control access to the back door.
But I would really like to understand what's happening with this metatag.
That's really strange Christian, because when I look up your page
below both CLIENT_ADDRESS and CLIENT_IP give me your server's IP ,
but not my IP address, which, according to the manual isn't correct.
Maybe you have something "interesting" in your network setup that is
returning your server's IP address instead of the client IP address.
I would look at any setup which is out of the ordinary (I nat
trasnlation / IP re-drections etc.) for the answer first before
asking support since it seems from the trials conducted here that it
is only either:
a) your server
b) Mac OS X app server
Anyone else using macosx wi5 that can test this for us?
cheers
Garth
Maybe, but wit OS X You also get the server-adress.
Have a look at http://www.apocm.de/ip.taf
Still no feedback from support - as usual :-(

Betreff: Re: Witango-Talk: <@CGIPARAM CLIENT_IP> gives server IP
I have always used CLIENT_ADDRESS instead of CLIENT_IP since if the
web server is set to DNS lookup you'll get the domain name and if
not, then the IP address. It seems to have worked reliably for me.
See the taf below for full details on CGIPARAM function calls

No, ist just a problem related to system.
That tells you much more...

Subject: Witango-Talk: <@CGIPARAM CLIENT_IP> gives server IP
Ho can i check the IP of the user calling my taf.
<@CGIPARAM NAME="CLIENT_IP"> gives the IP of my witango-Server
