Package xff is a net/http middleware/handler to parse Forwarded HTTP Extension in Golang.
Install xff:
go get github.com/sebest/xff
Edit server.go:
package main
import (
"net/http"
"github.com/sebest/xff"
)
func main() {
handler := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("hello from " + r.RemoteAddr + "\n"))
})
xffmw, _ := xff.Default()
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", xffmw.Handler(handler))
}Then run your server:
go run server.go
The server now runs on localhost:8080:
$ curl -D - -H 'X-Forwarded-For: 42.42.42.42' http://localhost:8080/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
