Description Simon Walker 2014-01-05 04:36:56 UTC 
Currently, there is no way to get the client IP address from a web request when using the proxy service. The account-creation-assistance project needs access to the client IP for abuse prevention, and also needs SSL for security, and there's currently no way to get both.
Comment 1 Andrew Bogott 2014-01-05 15:27:20 UTC 
This is a reasonable request.  For privacy purposes we'd prefer to enable it selectively rather than for all proxies, so there will be a bit of development involved.
Comment 2 Andrew Bogott 2014-01-05 22:30:26 UTC 
Simon, this should be resolved now, via 

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/105509/

please verify that you're getting what you need and close this bug.
Comment 3 Simon Walker 2014-01-05 22:55:09 UTC
