i am working on AWS Elastic Beanstalk Instance, which runs Java application served through Nginx ( no load balancer in front, just a standalone instance ) I need to set cookie to catch client ip and client hostname. Is this possible to do it in nginx or should this be done in my Java code?
Below if my nginx configuration file:
location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000; proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; }

You can try playing around with nginxs add_header Set-Cookie.
IP address of client should be in $remote_addr and host in $Host.
You can try adding following in location block:
add_header Set-Cookie cip=$remote_addr;
add_header Set-Cookie chost=$Host;
For more control you can try
add_header Set-Cookie "cip=$remote_addr;Domain=example.com;Path=/;Max-Age=100000";
I didn’t tried it myself, I’m not sure is it correct, but test. I will try it myself but I’m out of my test server and can’t verify now. :)
