    body.rewind if body.respond_to?(:rewind)
  end

end

#remote_ipObject

Determines originating IP address. REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these if REMOTE_ADDR is a proxy. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the last address which is not trusted is the originating IP.



180

# File 'lib/action_dispatch/http/request.rb', line 180

def remote_ip
  @remote_ip ||= (@env["action_dispatch.remote_ip"] || ip).to_s
end

#request_methodObject

Returns the HTTP method that the application should see. In the case where the method was overridden by a middleware (for instance, if a HEAD request was converted to a GET, or if a _method parameter was used to determine the method the application should use), this method returns the overridden value, not the original.

#xml_http_request?Boolean Also known as: xhr?
