How to reconfigure Rails default middleware

Question

Rails comes with a range of middleware which is included by default. But what if I want to pass arguments to the middleware? For example, ActionDispatch::RemoteIp takes two optional arguments: ip_spoofing_check and custom_proxies . How do I reconfigure the already included ActionDispatch::RemoteIp middleware but passing in my own value for custom_proxies ?

Answer 1

ActionDispatch::RemoteIp checks for IP spoofing attacks and gets valid client_ip from request headers. Configurable with the config.action_dispatch.ip_spoofing_check , and config.action_dispatch.trusted_proxies options.

In fact most of the middleware has setters so that you can reconfigure it instead of having to change the initialization arguments.
