Because the proxy doesn't do anything with the data, except for
forwarding it (SSL connection, it can't modify the data), it is up to
the client to send the IP address.
And the clients don't send it. Lousy clients :-)
Compare the output (if you're using Squid with forwarded_for set to on):
http://www.copyright.org.au/~edwin/c.php
vs
https://www.copyright.org.au/~edwin/c.php
Please close this one, I'll ask the Squid people.
Thanks for letting me know how the text filter works, Edwin

PHP's getenv() function. The replacement happens in
lib/Horde/Text/Filter/environment.php.

four headers to imp/config/header.txt:
X-Originating-IP: %REMOTE_ADDR%
X-Originating-Hostname: %REMOTE_HOST%
X-Proxied-for-IP: %HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR%
X-Proxied-via: %HTTP_VIA%
The first two are replaced properly, the second two aren't:
X-Originating-IP: 202.83.176.9
X-Originating-Hostname: proxy.barnet.com.au
X-Proxied-for-IP:
X-Proxied-via:
The four variables are listed in the PHP phpinfo() output under Apache
Environment.
I tried to figure out how the replacement of variables works, but I
wasn't able to make sense of it. That's more a problem from my side
than from your side :-)
