This has been on my list quite some time... good to see that others
have the same issue as well. I guess the issue is much broader, in the
'request' function-namespace there are a few functions affected by the
same subject... and the webstart functionality as well.

Probably it should be an database wide configuration item.

Please read the 'specs' carefully... there are a few implementations
that do approximately the same. E.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For

You cannot use the header right away, it must be parsed first (take
first item of list? or last?)

read more on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html
(revere proxy headers), there are a few more headers you could
check...... be aware of that!

cheers

Dannes
