Description:
------------
Hi all,

I am unsure if I have this right....  but using an OSX 
10.2.6 Server running 4.3.3RC1, when I ask for the users IP 
address via $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] I get the IP address of 
the webserver, not the browser client, though if I ask for 
$_SERVER['HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR'], I do get the client IP.

Hope this helps

Daz

Reproduce code:
---------------
print '<pre>';
print_r($GLOBALS);
PRINT '</pre>';

Expected result:
----------------
[REMOTE_ADDR] => <my browser ip address>

Actual result:
--------------
[REMOTE_ADDR] => <my web server ip address>

Just some webserver difference. And you can't really rely on that anyway, most times it's just the proxy IP anyway.
