[Moin-user] X-Forwarded-For and moinmoin

[David Montgomery]

Hi,

My wiki was showing 'localhost' for all the page
editor ip addresses.  I suspected that it was behind
an apache proxy.

Modifying request.py's _setup_vars_from_std_env
so that self.remote_addr was set as follows

        remote_address = env.get('REMOTE_ADDR', '')
        if remote_address != '127.0.0.1':
            self.remote_addr = remote_address
        else:
            header = (env.get('x-forwarded-for') or
                      env.get(cgiMetaVariable('x-forwarded-for')))
            if not header:
                self.remote_addr = remote_address
            else:
                self.remote_addr = header.split(',')[-1].strip()

(basically borrowing from
http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/09/23/apache-x-forwarded-for-caveat/ )

fixed this problem for me.

(I tried to add this to
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinQuestions/Unsorted
where someone else was asking about the same problem,
but I'm currently getting 500 errors there.)
