How to get client IP Address in Netty http server

[Ngoc Dao]

If the HTTP server is behind proxies, the IP of the original client is
the first element of the X-Forwarded-For header.

To make sure that this header is set by the proxies, not to be fooled
by the original client (may be a hacker), check if IP of the last
proxy is in your white list.
