HTTP requests forwarded to a Netlify Server entry in netlify dev didn't carry the client's address, so context.ip was always empty (WebSocket upgrades were unaffected). This sets X-Forwarded-For to the connection's remote address before handing the request to the server handler, the same way the CLI does for the other requests it proxies, and the integration test now asserts that the server receives it.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Server requests now include the client’s connection address in the forwarded IP header when available. This allows server-side integrations to access the originating client address; requests without an available address receive an empty value.

The proxy now sets the x-forwarded-for header from the request socket’s remote address before calling the server handler. It uses an empty string if the address is unavailable. The integration test fixture returns the x-nf-client-connection-ip header as clientIP, or null if absent. The enabled-server test checks that clientIP is a loopback address.

Remove the code-description comments.

The comments describe the header behavior and downstream context.ip assignment. The code already expresses this through x-forwarded-for; remove the comments.

As per coding guidelines, “Never write comments on what the code does, make the code clean and self explanatory instead.”
