WSGI AWS Unproxy
================
Set the correct ``REMOTE_ADDR`` based on the ``X-Forwarded-For`` header,
while only trusting the CloudFront IP addresses.
This module is applied as WSGI middleware, fixing the IP-address retrieval for the entire application in a secure manner.
As extra benefit, external packages no longer have to write abstraction layers to retrieve the IP-address header.
Django example
==============
In Django edit the ``wsgi.py`` file to apply the module:
.. code-block:: python
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from wsgi_aws_unproxy import UnProxy
application = get_wsgi_application()
application = UnProxy(application)
Now all packages can just read ``request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']`` to fetch the correct IP.
This includes contact forms, Sentry error reporting and rate limiting tools.
Installation
============
You can install the latest version using pip:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install wsgi-aws-unproxy
And apply it as WSGI middleware:
.. code-block:: python
from wsgi_aws_unproxy import UnProxy
application = UnProxy(application)
