This module can be used when your server is running behind a proxy server. In such case, Phorum will not see the IP-address of the client, but the one of the proxy. If the proxy is proper, it will send along a X-Forwarded-For header, telling the original IP-address. This module will let Phorum use the IP-address from that header if it is available in the request.

Changelog:
----------

2009-08-20 v1.0.1

Hi Maurice,
How can I send changes to this module?

Just post changes in this thread and I'll incorporate them in the repository.

There's an error in the module, it's HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, not HTTP_X_FORWARD_FOR .

Thanks for the heads up. I uploaded version 1.0.1 which fixes this issue.
