            Bug ID: 62300
           Summary: mod_remoteip docs don't mention CONN_REMOTE_ADDR
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.33
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: apache.org-andrex@snkmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The doc page for mod_remoteip
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_remoteip.html) doesn't mention
that the IP address of the forwarding proxy is available in expressions as the
CONN_REMOTE_ADDR variable. It should do that.

The "Expressions in Apache Server" page
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/expr.html) does mention CONN_REMOTE_ADDR,
with a reference to mod_remoteip.

The two pages call the forwarding proxy address by different names.
mod_remoteip somewhat confusingly calls it "the underlying client IP of the
connection", while the Expressions page calls it "the peer ID address of the
connection." It would help the reader if the docs called that address by the
same name everywhere.

Thanks for your attention!

--- Comment #1 from Rich Bowen <rb...@apache.org> ---
Fixed in trunk (r1933536) and 2.4 (r1933537).

Added mention of the CONN_REMOTE_ADDR expression variable alongside the
existing %{c}a format string reference, with a link to the expressions
documentation.

Thanks for the report.
