Add documentation for configuration of Fastly-Client-IP header

Created on 15 May 2017, about 8 years ago
Updated 20 January 2025, 6 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When requests are routed through Fastly, the REMOTE_ADDR header value is a Fastly ip instead of the user's actual IP address. This can cause an issue for functionality like the flood table where Drupal expects the user's IP.

Proposed resolution

Add documentation to show how to recover/replace the REMOTE_ADDR header with Fastly's HTTP_FASTLY_CLIENT_IP header.
