I am needing to use the source IP for a few routines in my proxy server, but the problem is that it is being forwarded to me by a dispatcher. I am definitely needing the IP address.
My first inclination was to append a header field with the IP address. This is quite easy. However, the hard part is using that passed in IP address. I'm not sure what the best way would be to get that value into the hands of several module functions like permissions => allow_trusted(), etc..
Any ideas?
thanks,
Rick

one solution would be to do some development to introduce pseudo-variable support in the modules you want. But maybe you can do the check using only avpops module, via avp_check() and avp_db_load().

Could you point me in the direction of modules that have the psuedo-variable support that would be easy to emulate? The module I'll need to modify is registrar. Specifically the lookup and save functions.
Also, is there a way in-script to take a custom header value and load it into a pseudo-variable? And is there any documentation or example source for this?

the group module has support for avps in is_user_in() function.

you can use avp_write() to write the body of an header in an avp.
