module ActionDispatch
+ # This middleware calculates the IP address of the remote client that is
+ # making the request. It does this by checking various headers that could
+ # contain the address, and then picking the last-set address that is not
+ # on the list of trusted IPs. This follows the precedent set by e.g.
+ # {the Tomcat server}[https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50453],
+ # with {reasoning explained at length}[http://blog.gingerlime.com/2012/rails-ip-spoofing-vulnerabilities-and-protection]
+ # by @gingerlime. A more detailed explanation of the algorithm is given
+ # at GetIp#calculate_ip.
+ #
+ # Some Rack servers concatenate repeated headers, like {HTTP RFC 2616}[http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2]
+ # requires. Some Rack servers simply drop preceding headers, and only report
+ # the value that was {given in the last header}[http://andre.arko.net/2011/12/26/repeated-headers-and-ruby-web-servers].
+ # If you are behind multiple proxy servers (like NGINX to HAProxy to Unicorn)
+ # then you should test your Rack server to make sure your data is good.
+ #
+ # IF YOU DON'T USE A PROXY, THIS MAKES YOU VULNERABLE TO IP SPOOFING.
+ # This middleware assumes that there is at least one proxy sitting around
+ # and setting headers with the client's remote IP address. If you don't use
+ # a proxy, because you are hosted on e.g. Heroku without SSL, any client can
+ # claim to have any IP address by setting the X-Forwarded-For header. If you
+ # care about that, then you need to explicitly drop or ignore those headers
+ # sometime before this middleware runs.
