extractClientIP

Signature

def extractClientIP: Directive1[RemoteAddress] 

Description

Provides the value of X-Forwarded-For, Remote-Address, or X-Real-IP headers as an instance of HttpIp.

The akka-http server engine adds the Remote-Address header to every request automatically if the respective setting akka.http.server.remote-address-header is set to on. Per default it is set to off.

Example

val route = extractClientIP { ip =>
  complete("Client's ip is " + ip.toOption.map(_.getHostAddress).getOrElse("unknown"))
}

// tests:
Get("/").withHeaders(`Remote-Address`(RemoteAddress(InetAddress.getByName("192.168.3.12")))) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Client's ip is 192.168.3.12"
}
