Access to request headers from validator functions

[Paul Dorman]

Hi all, I have a simple form that includes a ReCaptcha field. To work
with ReCaptcha, the check function must be passed the remote-addr as
well as the challenge and response. I'm using defform to produce my
form, which is nice and simple, but I'm not sure how to aquire the
remote-address from the request headers in my validation function.
Could someone please describe how I might go about this?

Thanks in advance!

Paul,

Validators can only validate the data that is submitted with the form.
This means that you will need to submit the remote-addr as a hidden
form field.

Here is how you would do this:

As shown in the code above, the form defaults can be a map or a
function of the request.

In a future version, the field list may also be a function of the
request. I may also consider that for validation.

Thanks for that Brenton, I'll apply it to my code tonight. I'm embarrassed to say that it didn't occur to me at all that defaults needn't be fields!
