Forward IP address to proxied server

[Daniel Mircea]

Hi everyone,

I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy for a thttpd server that handles cgi
scripts.
Everything works ok, except that the server doesn't seem to receive any
visitor info, every IP is interpreted as 127.0.0.1.

This is the config, that I'm using to forward requests:

location ~ \.cgi$ {
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:30001;
}
