I'm using nginx as reverse proxy with gunicorn for my Django app, and am new to webserver configuration. My app has a postgres backend, and the machine hosting it has Ubuntu 14.04 lts installed.
I have reason to suspect that my nginx configuration is not forwarding proxy set header to the Django app correctly. Is there a way I can see (e.g. print?) the host, http_user_agent, remote_addr etc. forwarded, on the linux command line to test my gut feel?
Secondly, how do I check whether my Django app received the correct forwarded IP? E.g. can I somehow print
?
