Question X-Forwarded-For header for client IP addresses

X-Forwarded-For header for client IP addresses was created by dsherwin
Hi,

I have a few kunena sites hosted behind a reverse proxy and at the moment they don't log the clients IP. They log the proxy server's IP address.
The way to capture the client's IP address is to use the X-Forwarded-For header but I can't seem find where in the code I need to change and if the following might work i.e.:

administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/forum/message/message.php (line 111):
$headers = apache_request_headers();
$message->ip = $headers;

Where would I need to change the code to use this header instead of REMOTE_ADDR and what functions are available in kunena to access the http headers?

Thanks
Darragh
