Project description

https://travis-ci.org/PaesslerAG/django-httpxforwardedfor.svg?branch=master

Quickstart

Install django-httpxforwardedfor:

pip install django-httpxforwardedfor

Configure it in the settings of your django project:

# Make sure it is at the beginning of the list of middle-ware classes.
# Only other middle-ware classes working on the remote address should
# precede it.
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
    'httpxforwardedfor.middleware.HttpXForwardedForMiddleware',
] + MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES

# Only allow HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, if the request is marked as secure.
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')

# To only allow change of the REMOTE_ADDR for requests via HTTPS.
# The default is to allow all requests.
TRUST_ONLY_HTTPS_PROXY = True
