Hi,

I need the module "mod_remoteip" which is not included in the standard http=
d-2.2.14 distribution. I downloaded the source code from people.apache.org/=
~wrowe/mod_remoteip.c. There is no instruction for the source code as how t=
o compile the module. On the Apache's web site, the document shows that aft=
er httpd v1.3, to add additional module, simply add a line to the 'configur=
e' file in the source directory and then compile:

AddModule modules/extra/mod_remoteip.c

and I copied the file to the location. The compilation went through no prob=
lem as I included some other modules such as ssl, proxy, etc. but I don't t=
hink Apache compiled the module for me. Does anyone know how to add module =
to Apache-httpd compilation or maybe simply compile the module and then loa=
d the module to the httpd? Thanks in advance.

Ryan Jiang

I compiled remoteip module and loaded it without problem.
In one of my virtualhost of Apache reverse proxy, I added and tested:

RemoteIPHeader X-Client-IP
Or
RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For

Or both

I don't see the remote client IP is being forwarded to the backend server f=
rom Apache as it supposed to be. Does anyone know why or what I did wrong? =
Thanks.

Ryan

There is the %{Header-Name}i syntax of the custom log, so you could easily
verify which header is actually in use. X-Forwarded-For is the usual 'public'
method, but nobody promises you'll have such information assigned. The other
example would entirely depend on your load balancer/router which picks up the
requests and has redispatched them. Usually such devices will *not* share any
info over the web, but replace that particular header unilaterally.

Also note the module will only set the IP address as 'authentic' when the remote
machine is trusted, see

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_remoteip.html#rem oteipinternalproxy

and the commentary at the top of that page.

[I'm thinking about a RemoteIPTrustedHeader directive that wouldn't deal with
that scrutiny, but I'm a bit hesitant. You know your own IP's of your own
infrastructure to trust such proxies, right?]

Hi, William

Can you give me more details:

There is the %{Header-Name}i syntax of the custom log, so you could easily
verify which header is actually in use. X-Forwarded-For is the usual 'publ=
ic' method,

I will use Apache as reverse proxy not forward proxy. So the IPs are from I=
nternet user not internal private IP users. The remote internal IP is not s=
uitable for me in my case. Thanks.

Ryan
