Hi,
I want to show different things to different viewers based on their IP addresses. How can I do this?
Basically you look at the clients ip address (from the REQUEST object) and perform any action you need (redirections, conditions within scripts, templates)...but no idea what the sense of this usecase is. If you have different audiences, setup sites with different content or something similar. In addition: using Zope behind proxy will lead in request coming from the IP address of your reverse proxy. Additional configuration/programming is necessary to get hold of the original IP.
Thanks for the reply.
The use case is that my client wants to block a range of IP addresses from being able to view their site. So I need to access the originating IP address and filter appropriately.
I've written a few custom zope products before, but I've not done anything that really modifies zope's behaviour on every request - just on requests for the specific objects I'm publishing. So I'm familiar with the request object, but I don't know how to intercept *every* request. Are there any global request life-cycle hooks? If you can point me to those that would be a great help.
Cheers, David
If you just need to redirect traffic from an IP range, and not do anything fancy, it may be better to do it in Apache rather than Zope. http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/ZopeAndApache Tom
