(<a href=\"https://gitlab.com/pmjones/ext-request\">Documentation here.</a>)</p>\n<p>This release adds four new read-only properties to the ServerRequest object:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><code>$forwarded</code> is an array representation of <code>$_SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED']</code> (cf. the <a href=\"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239\">Forwarded HTTP Extension</a>),</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><code>$forwardedFor</code> is an array computed from treating <code>$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']</code>   as comma-separated values.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><code>$forwardedHost</code> is the <code>$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST']</code> value, and</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><code>$forwardedProto</code> is <code>$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']</code> value.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you use trusted proxies a lot in your work, you can use those values to compute the \"real\" client IP address in your application.</p>\n<p>This completes the intended initial functionality of the extension. You should install it and try it out, because it might be make your work easier.</p>\n<p class=\"reddit-links\">Read the Reddit discussion about this post <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/5jdtu5/pecl_request_now_computes_forwarded_values/\">here</a>.</p>\n"
