I think it is meanst specifically for proxies. Also I would like to add more data from the original request, so I "invented" a "X-For" header. The api now sends something like:<BR/><BR/><I>X-For: Remote-Address="123.456.789.123" Referer="http://lms.virtual-presence.org/api/" User-Agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"</I>Heiner Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09520563824611073104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445381390072261408.post-13058124480419257192008-07-28T15:01:00.000+02:002008-07-28T15:01:00.000+02:00Good idea. Definitely the User-Agent. I'll check the Via-thing.Heiner Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09520563824611073104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445381390072261408.post-31667944685968751642008-07-28T14:50:00.000+02:002008-07-28T14:50:00.000+02:00Is it possible to change the User-Agent to something else than "PEAR HTTP_Request class ( http://pear.php.net/ )". Also what about adding a Via header so the requester's IP address is available to the server too?Norman Rasmussenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14673321536070474227noreply@blogger.com
