Exactly only when i CloudFlare(www.cloudflare.com) the domain the
hostname cannot be retrieved.
At least i managed to solve this by:
try:
host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'] )[0]
except Exception as e:
host = repr(e)
Seems like when you cloudflare a domain you can no longer have the
originates ip address of the visitor but you have to read the above
environmental variable to be bale to retrieve it!
