Re: getting client ip address information from http request.

[Arnab Ganguly <aganguly01@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks!! 
As x-forwarded is configured in httpd.conf, so if we don't configure we don't get the information.Is it possible to make the module independent of the configuration file.... and just from the request get the information ?

Why not just read the x-forwarded-for request header in your module?
