Hi all,

 

Koha::Middleware::RealIP gives you the real client IP address in the Koha
code when running Koha behind a proxy. However, I noticed that this real
client IP address wasn't showing up in plack.log, and it really started to
bug me.

 

I discovered that Koha::Middleware::SetEnv was compromising the flow of the
$env variable through the Plack middlewares, but I've fixed it:

It was a crazy-making problem, but it was a very simple fix, and it will
make your plack.log files much more useful. 

 

Simple yet comprehensive test plan too, so I hope that folk take a look at
it.
