How do I get the real IP address when Arc is behind nginx?

The following certainly isn't enough:

  proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;

Wifi is spotty here, but here's all the stuff I have in my config for a past project:

    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Referer $http_referer;
Does that work? If so, can you post the minimal headers needed? Thanks.

It doesn't work for me.

(pr req!ip) keeps showing the IP address of the server rather than the IP address of the client.

I need a way of telling clients apart. Perhaps I should be looking at cookies instead.

To plumb the X-Forwarded-For IP to req!ip, try the patch at http://www.arclanguage.org/item?id=11199. (See gotcha #3 at https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki/arc-3_1/known-...)

Thanks. It seems this should work with Anarki.
