Without even looking, I'd guess that ERXRequest.remoteHostAddress() is looking for an HTTP header REMOTE_ADDR (this is not really an HTTP header, it's a CGI environment variable, but WebObjects presents it as a header).

I have under some circumstances that I can't remember found that sometimes REMOTE_ADDR was not the right thing to look for; with the systems I have to hand running Apache 1.3.41 and Apache 2.2.6 on 10.5.x, REMOTE_ADDR.

If possible, enable /cgi-bin/printenv on the server where this is a problem and make an HTTPS call to discover the name of the CGI environment variable containing the address for which you are looking; then, in your code, if ERXRequest.remoteHostAddress() returns "127.0.0.1", use the API for getting at HTTP headers to look for that name instead.

Hi,

To prevent session hijacking i generally use the sender ip verification ( ERXRequest.remoteHostAddress() ) and works fine for http requests, but when we ae il SSL mode, WebObjects see all requests coming from 127.0.0.1 (and tecnically is right)

Now how to get the real ip address of the client ?
