 * Does not work correctly.
 * “REMOTE_ADDR” is reported incorrectly.
 * “HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP” is correct (e.g. 12.345.678.90)
 * “HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR” is 8.8.8.8,12.345.678.90
 * Also, what’s the functional purpose of setting “X-CF-Powered-By: WP ” . CLOUDFLARE_VERSION)
   in the header?

 * Oops! The 8.8.8.8 was introduced by a FF plugin I was using.
