    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

    • Testing Instructions:
      Hide

      1) Setup pre upgrade config conditions. Run the following:

      php admin/cli/cfg.php --name=getremoteaddrconf --set=1
      		 
      php admin/cli/cfg.php --name=reverseproxyignore --unset

      2) Test file:  remoteip.php (create it @ the site dirroot):

      <?php
      		 
       
      		 
      require('config.php');
      		 
      echo getremoteaddr()."\n";

      3) Ensure that you have "debug" set to developer level enabled and "debugdisplay" also enabled (admin settings).

      4) Test curl and confirm you did NOT get this error (but just "1.2.3.4"):

      $ curl http://your.moodle.site/remoteip.php -H 'X-Forwarded-For: 1.2.3.4'
      <br />
      <b>Notice</b>: Undefined property: stdClass::$reverseproxyignore in <b>/var/www/moodle.local/lib/moodlelib.php</b> on line <b>9211</b><br />
      <br />

      Description

      This is a fix for a little regression introduced @ MDL-67861. Applies to all current branches (35 and up).

      When these conditions happen:

      • The site has debugging set to high levels + display errors enabled.
      • The site has the handling of X-Forwarded-For headers enabled.
      • There are some headers coming in the requests.
      • The site is upgraded via web (CLI is immune to this).

      This notice is shown in the initial 3-4 pages (login, env, db upgrade...) until the new settings are saved to DB (then the notice disappears forever):

      Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$reverseproxyignore in /opt/app/lib/moodlelib.php on line 9210"

      So, this issue is about to avoid that notice to be shown, just that.

      In the original issue, a simple change was proposed, FYC:

      Maybe we can just change:

      return !\core\ip_utils::is_ip_in_subnet_list($ip, $CFG->reverseproxyignore, ',');

      by

      return !\core\ip_utils::is_ip_in_subnet_list($ip, $CFG->reverseproxyignore ?? '', ',');

      And that's all. Note the notice doesn't lead to any malfunctioning, it's just "ugly" for the sites matching all the conditions above.

      CORRECTION TAKE#2 : Striking-through the previous -CORRECTION: it breaks login, so makes it imossible to upgrade sites through the Web UI.-

      Ciao
