I meant to support X-FORWARDED-IP in the loggers.

If I understood the recent changes correctly, Cherokee (as backend
server) now supports logging the IP address found in the X-Real-IP
instead of using the client's IP address to be able to log the real
client's address instead of the reverse proxy's one.

What I meant in my previous mail is that maybe it could also be useful
to be able to log the client IP address based on the X-FORWARDED-IP for
proxies that set X-FORWARDED-IP instead of X-Real-IP (ie. a Squid proxy
in front of a Cherokee backend).

I'm aware this is not as straight-forward as X-Real-IP support.

Hope I explained it better this time. Sorry for not explaining it right
in my previous mail.

Regards,
