Re: REMOTE_ADDR not working

vit,
In ec2,

 $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}
[download]

works fine as intended on a single machine with a public Elastic IP assigned.. if you have instances behind ELB, then X_HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR might work but I am not 100% sure they set that header... they must or else server logs would be messed up too.

I know that ELB is used. /* sure they set that header... they must or else server logs would be messed up too. */ Could you please clarify	[reply]

vit, If you know your server is behind ELB, then you should be in luck, need to read some docs:) maybe start here, but I'd like to note this has nothing to do with Perl! ELB does pass HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, which should be a start.	[reply]
