[Zope-dev] More Zope 2.6 requests

[Jim Washington]

While we are asking, I have two things that I would consider valuable 
additions to Zope 2.6:

1.  UserSniffer.  Currently an External Method, but has functionality 
that should be available OOTB to assist making those (horrors!) 
browser-dependent hacks.  It has other uses, too, like explaining to 
clients that their browser is five years old and needs the free upgrade 
that is available.

2.  Support for HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.  Many (most?) of us run zope 
behind Apache ProxyPass or Squid, and the Zope logs therefore save the 
ip address of the proxying machine rather than any semblance of where 
the client browser is.  I realize that other proxies do not always 
follow the rules, etc., etc., but I think that using 
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR if not null would be better than a log full of 
192.168.1.1.

Apologies if these have already been discussed under another heading.
