Re: LWP User Agent Difficulty

1) How can I get the ua to pass my client's REMOTE_ADDR?

Strictly speaking, you can't. The web server at the other end of the request your UserAgent is making gets the IP address off of the socket. Without serious, OS-level magic, you can't forge that IP addr.

What you can do is to take the REMOTE_ADDR that your UserAgent sees, and either

create a cookie with it, to be passed to $url
add it to a form that you'll send to $url
append it to $url (e.g., "$url/$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}") to be passed in PATH_INFO.

All of these require that the CGI represented by $url cooperate.
