[benoitc]

You can check the REMOTE_ADDR header in req.headers .

[ashokrkm]

can you give this as req.remote_addr ?

[ashokrkm]

there is no REMOTE_ADDR in req.headers. got only these headers.

HOST
USER-AGENT
ACCEPT
ACCEPT-LANGUAGE
ACCEPT-ENCODING
ACCEPT-CHARSET
KEEP-ALIVE
CONNECTION
REFERER
COOKIE

Do you have a line like this in your nginx config?

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

Gunicorn is HTTP, which means the only information it has access too are the current socket connection and the headers that it receives. In a proxy configuration there's no method for getting the remote IP unless you have the proxy server forward that information in a header. Once in a header it should be in req.headers. If that does not appear to be the case, please open another ticket.

yes adding the line in nginx helped!
thanks a lot

hi you can get the remote address with req.peer_addr[0],which is connecting with gunicorn directly.
