Just a little note. The X-Fowarded-For header is a list of IPs. The idea is that every proxy/server that mangels the request is added to the list of IPs. So if you do 

($, split: (headerString  copyWithout: Character space)) first

you get the first IP which should be the client. I think in most cases you'll find a single ip but the above is more safe. 

The proposal of Johan is to use nginx as a helper to ease this process. By using the real ip module in nginx the server selects one address from available sources and sets a specific header. Might be a good idea to use it that way. At least I can find in my server configs the exact same line that Johan proposed. And that means he stole it from server. Damn you, belgian hacker!
