REMOTE_ADDR via HTTPS

[Pat]

Hi,

I am having a small problem with a script that has to be requested via
https.

When I execute this normally I get my IP address printed on the
screen:

<?php
echo getenv('REMOTE_ ADDR');
?>

However the same script executed over https gives me a completetly
different address.

How to I read the clients IP address via https?

Thanks for any advice.

You can also use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

Have you investigated what that address is? Does your browser have
a proxy configuration that makes it connect differently depending
on whether you're using HTTP or HTTPS? Have you run a packet sniffer
on your machine and/or the web server to see if that address really
is involved in the connection?

The above methods should work.
