1201	Realip module fails if X-Forwarded-For includes port number	Jontsa@…		"We encountered this issue while trying to get realip module to work in Nginx backends behind Azure load balancer. Azure adds port-number to X-Forwarded-For header which seems to break realip functionality.

Example of X-Forwarded-For from our logs at Azure:
{{{
""70.32.40.2:35104""
}}}

I setup a local nginx server with PHP script that dumps remote address and x-forwarded-for headers from PHP $_SERVER variable.

Virtual host config:
{{{
location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;

    real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
    real_ip_recursive on;
    set_real_ip_from 192.168.0.2;
    set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1;

    fastcgi_param NGINX_REALIP_REMOTE_ADDR $realip_remote_addr;
}
}}}

I sent tests using curl. When I added port number to x-forwarded-for header, the REMOTE_ADDR value was incorrect.

{{{
$ curl http://localhost/testi/realip.php
PHP _SERVER variables:
  NGINX_REALIP_REMOTE_ADDR: 127.0.0.1
  HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR:     
  REMOTE_ADDR:              127.0.0.1

$ curl --header ""X-Forwarded-For: 12.34.56.78"" http://localhost/testi/realip.php
PHP _SERVER variables:
  NGINX_REALIP_REMOTE_ADDR: 127.0.0.1
  HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR:     12.34.56.78
  REMOTE_ADDR:              12.34.56.78

$ curl --header ""X-Forwarded-For: 12.34.56.78:60033"" http://localhost/testi/realip.php
PHP _SERVER variables:
  NGINX_REALIP_REMOTE_ADDR: 127.0.0.1
  HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR:     12.34.56.78:60033
  REMOTE_ADDR:              127.0.0.1
