Provide ip->geo lookup for X-Forwarded-For header field
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Field 13 of squid log can list one or more proxies via which requests was routed.
Ip->geo will for example reveal original behind Opera Mini server.

Until Oct 2012 ip->geo was resolved inside WikiCount scripts, where a very inefficient call to external tool was done several times per log record for analyzing proxies. Has this now been replaced?

Is this bug resolved? Copied from Asana.

Maintenance on squid log based reports is on hold, pending replacement or restructuring in a HADOOP context

BTW since bug was opened several log format changes did occur (extra fields).

Is this about properly geo-tagging the original IP even if it passes through a proxy like OperaMini? In that case I suspect this is going to be done as part of the Varnish traffic identification, now that all Varnish restructuring is done.

Closing this ticket as Wikistats version 1 is dead per https://stats.wikimedia.org/Wikistats_1_announcements.htm . In case this ticket is still a valid bug report or feature request for Wikistats 2, then please reopen. Thanks a lot!
