extractClientIP

def extractClientIP: Directive1[RemoteAddress] 

Description

Provides the value of the X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP header. If neither of those is found it will fall back to the value of the synthetic RemoteAddress header (pekko.http.server.remote-address-header setting is on) or the value of the AttributeKeys.remoteAddressAttributeKeys.remoteAddress attribute (if the pekko.http.server.remote-address-attribute setting is on)

If no valid IP address is encountered, this extractor will return RemoteAddress.Unknown`.

Example

Scala

copysourceval route = extractClientIP { ip =>
  complete("Client's ip is " + ip.toOption.map(_.getHostAddress).getOrElse("unknown"))
}

// tests:
Get("/").withHeaders(`X-Forwarded-For`(RemoteAddress(InetAddress.getByName("192.168.3.12")))) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Client's ip is 192.168.3.12"
}

Java

copysourcefinal Route route =
    extractClientIP(
        remoteAddr ->
            complete(
                "Client's IP is "
                    + remoteAddr
                        .getAddress()
                        .map(InetAddress::getHostAddress)
                        .orElseGet(() -> "unknown")));

// tests:
final String ip = "192.168.1.2";
final org.apache.pekko.http.javadsl.model.RemoteAddress remoteAddress =
    org.apache.pekko.http.javadsl.model.RemoteAddress.create(InetAddress.getByName(ip));

final HttpRequest request =
    HttpRequest.GET("/").addHeader(XForwardedFor.create(remoteAddress)); //

testRoute(route).run(request).assertEntity("Client's IP is " + ip);

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/")).assertEntity("Client's IP is unknown");
