[Seaside] self requestContext request remoteAddress always 127.0.0.1

[Johan Brichau]

If you are using nginx as a front-end proxy, you can transmit the IP address of the requester like this:

        location / {
                proxy_pass        http://localhost:5984;
                proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        }

In this case the connection would go from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 so the information you are requesting is valid. In this case it is also common that the front-end server writes the originating IP address in a http header. Have a look at
