#post_format ⇒ Object

Determine whether the body of a POST request is URL-encoded (default), XML, or YAML by checking the Content-Type HTTP header:

Content-Type        Post Format

application/x-yaml  :yaml
text/x-yaml         :yaml
*                   :url_encoded

For backward compatibility, the post format is extracted from the X-Post-Data-Format HTTP header if present.

#remote_ip ⇒ Object

Determine originating IP address. REMOTE_ADDR is the standard but will fail if the user is behind a proxy. HTTP_CLIENT_IP and/or HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are set by proxies so check for these before falling back to REMOTE_ADDR. HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR may be a comma- delimited list in the case of multiple chained proxies; the first is the originating IP.
