------------------------------------

             Summary: ListenHTTP should add property with the remote IP submitting data
                 Key: NIFI-1042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1042
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 0.2.1, 0.0.1, 0.0.2, 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.0
            Reporter: Mike de Rhino 
             Fix For: 0.4.0


Dataflows created by the ListenHTTP processor lack a "source IP attribute". Source DNs are great but they do not prove data provenance in isolation (after all one could copy an unprotected x509 certificate and submit from a separate machine).

Ideally data provenance should include both the source DN (if available) and the source IP. Not perfect (as the IP could still be spoofed / MiTM/ etc) but better than relying on certificates only.
