proxyaddr

Package proxyaddr is a middleware for determining client address for proxied requests in Go.

After proxyaddr is set with trusted proxies (such as local nginx, HAProxy, etc.), it tries to get the actual IP address of clients from x-forwarded-for HTTP header. If presents, proxyaddr sets the IP address to RemoteAddr field of the http.Request instance. Note the port number in RemoteAddr is left unchanged.

Install

go get github.com/zesik/proxyaddr

Quick Example

Using with standard net/http:

package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/zesik/proxyaddr"
)

func main() {
	pa := &proxyaddr.ProxyAddr{}
	pa.Init(proxyaddr.CIDRLoopback)
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", pa.Handler(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		w.Write([]byte(r.RemoteAddr))
	})))
}

Using with Negroni:

package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/urfave/negroni"
	"github.com/zesik/proxyaddr"
)

func main() {
	pa := &proxyaddr.ProxyAddr{}
	pa.Init(proxyaddr.CIDRLoopback)

	n := negroni.New()
	n.Use(pa)
	n.UseHandler(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		w.Write([]byte(r.RemoteAddr))
	}))

	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", n)
}

A quick test with curl:

$ curl localhost:8080
[::1]:53998

$ curl -H "x-forwarded-for: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8" localhost:8080
5.6.7.8:53999
