Koha has a number of features that rely on knowing the IP address of the connecting client. If that server is behind a proxy these features do not work.
This patch adds a module to automatically convert the X-Forwarded-For header into the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable for both CGI and Plack processes.
TEST PLAN:
1) Apply this patch set
2) Install Plack::Middleware::RealIP via cpanm or your favorite utility
3) Update your plack.psgi with the changes you find in this patch set ( this process differs based on your testing environment )
4) Restart plack
5) Tail the plack error log for your instance
6) Use curl to access the OPAC, adding an X-Forwarded-For header: curl --header "X-Forwarded-For: 32.32.32.32" http://127.0.0.1:8080
7) Note the logs output this address if you are unproxied
8) If you are proxied, restart plack using a command like below, where the ip you see in the logs ("REAL IP) is what you put in the koha conf:
<koha_trusted_proxies>172.22.0.1 1.1.1.1</koha_trusted_proxies>
9) Restart all the things!
10) Repeat step 6
11) You should now see "REAL IP: 32.32.32.32" in the plack logs as the remote address in your plack-error.log logs!
12) Disable plack so you are running in cgi mode, repeat step 6 again
13) You should see "REAL IP: 32.32.32.32" as the remove address in your opac-error.log logs!

It should also be noted that
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/{configuration file}
should also contain:
RequestHeader add X-Koha-SetEnv "TZ {timezone}"
Where {timezone} is the desired instance timezone.

This allows OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_* and others to work properly.
Test plan:
1) Add the following line to your plack.psgi (near the bottom, just
above "mount ..."):
enable "+Koha::Middleware::Plack";
2) Load the OPAC advanced search page (under Plack). The title should
read "Koha online catalog" (or whatever your LibraryName syspref
contains).
3) Add the following to your Apache configuration:
RequestHeader add X-Koha-SetEnv "OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_LibraryName Potato\, Potato"
4) Restart Apache.
5) Refresh. The title should now read "Potato, Potato online catalog".
