Where can I find the client IP address of a request connecting to my app?

App Platform adds a do-connecting-ip HTTP header that contains the client’s IP address for requests directed to your app. While the x-forwarded-for header is often used for this purpose, App Platform uses this header for the IP address of the DigitalOcean ingress server that forwarded the request to your app.
