Provide access to the remote IP address in a handler #671
Description
Activity
Hey! Yes, custom middlewares are of course supported, but not really documented yet - we have #597 for tracking this, and I think we'll prioritize this soon.
I recently bumped into the same problem when I tried to integrate Akismet spam detection service into one of my projects, so this should be resolved soon.
Problem statement
Currently, I see no way to get the remote IP address inside the handler, which may be necessary for logging, rate-limiting, login-control and so on.
Proposed solution
Cot could provide a
remote_addr: IpAddrinside as a handler argument.Alternatives considered

Additional context
I tried to workaround this problem myself by writing my own middleware, but I could not find an explanation on how to do so nor an answer to the question whether making own middleware is an intended use of Cots' API.
