getting client ip address information from http request.

Hi All,
How do I retrieve client ip information from the http request in Apache
module ? Like the loadbalancer is putting it own ip in the place of client
ip address. We tried %{X-Forwarded-For} but this takes care of access log
not the module specific log.

So from the request is there any function call can be done to retrieve the
client information.
Thanks in advance.

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

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 ?

Isn't it added by the proxy server? What does it have to do with httpd.conf?

You are looking for

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/metad ata/mod_remoteip.c

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

(yes, it will build on httpd-2.2).

This is not an Apache issue. This is a browser issue. Browsers request =
this file, and there's nothing you can do about that on the server side. =
What I recommend is that you create a favicon.ico file, or at the very =
least, create a zero-byte file called favicon.ico to silence the errors. =
Do this by typing:

touch favicon.ico

at the command line in your document directory.

How to get rid off favicon

Hi all,

I have configured my WAP site as a virtual host in Apache. My WAP site does
not have a Favicon and I don't want to use it either. Microbrowsers are
complaining about the favicon and are getting a 404 error from my tomcat web
server, which is behind Apache server.

Please suggest how I can configure Apache to not serve the favicon and
simply make the browser happy without my users seeing a 404 page. Can I make
use of mod redirect here. If yes, then please suggest an appropriate
configuration as I am not very good with Apache configuration.
