I appreciate all the feedback I have received thus far while learning HTTP::Proxy. It has been extremely helpful.

. Can someone tell me how to identify the IP address of the client system while using HTTP::Proxy?

. Here is a little snippet of code and I mainly want to know if I can identify the client with one of the items in the Filter area:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTTP::Proxy;
use HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple;
use Digest::SHA1 qw(sha1_hex);

my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new(
        host => '192.168.0.1',
        port => 8080 );

my $filter = HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple->new(
    sub {
        my ($self, $headers, $request) = @_;
        my $uri = $request->uri();
        my $client_ip = undef;  #How does one ask for client IP?

        # debug
        printf "Client IP  = %s\n", $client_ip;
        printf "URI        = %s\n", $uri;
        printf "host       = %s\n", $uri->host();
        printf "path       = %s\n", $uri->path();
        printf "query      = %s\n", $uri->query();

    }
);

$proxy->push_filter( request => $filter );

$proxy->start;
