从Go HTTP Server获取源IP地址

Question

I am trying to implement a HTTP server in Golang that receives requests from an Amazon ELB that uses the proxy protocol. Now I'd like to know what the original IP address is and so I was thinking about using this package.

Now this package talks raws HTTP as far as I can tell but my server implements a higher level HTTP server with a router.

I am having trouble translating between them. My question is this : how do I use this library and still use a router like gorilla/mux? Now there's nothing special about this package, it just talks at a lower level than HTTP.

Example:

// Listen on TCP port 2000 on all interfaces.
l, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":2000")
// proxyproxy is the library that maintains the source ip address for me
proxyList := &proxyproto.Listener{Listener: list}
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer proxyList.Close()

for {
    // Wait for a connection.
    conn, err := proxyList.Accept()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    // Handle the connection in a new goroutine.
    // The loop then returns to accepting, so that
    // multiple connections may be served concurrently.
    go func(c net.Conn) {

        // how do I connect my router

    }(conn)
}

The usual way of finding out the actual client IP over HTTP is by using some HTTP headers such as:

• X-Forwarded-For
• X-Real-IP

Actually, Amazon ELB seems to support the X-Forwarded-For header:

If you are using Gorilla, they have a middleware that seems to take care of that for you:
