That should cause two variables HTTP_X_REAL_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
to be visible in the CGI output.

That patch looks like it will write the value of the X-Forwarded-For
header into something internal to thttpd.

What are HTTP_X_REAL_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the output of this
cgi script?

If they are not what you expect, check what nginx is doing.

If they are what you expect, check what your patched thttpd is doing.

Good luck with it,
