ganjeii / ClientIP.cs
Created June 26, 2021 17:54 — forked from winzig/ClientIP.cs
If you're using a load balancer that obscures the remote client's true IP address, you can run this IHttpModule to take the first IP address from the X-Forwarded-For header, and overwrite the REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_HOST server variables. (We tried to use the URL Rewrite module that everyone normally recommends to do this, but it's buggy.)
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace HttpModules
{
/// <summary>
/// This module handles complications from our load balancer configuration not properly passing the client's true IP
/// address to our code via the REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_HOST variables. We tried to use URL Rewrite to compensate for
/// this, but it does not run when default documents are being accessed (a longstanding bug).
