Why is remote_addr missing from the Flask documentation?
<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/3760309">This question</a> answers how to find the IP of your visitors in Flask. The code works. However, <code>request.remote_addr</code> seems to be absent from the <a href="http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/api/#incoming-request-data" rel="nofollow">Flask documentation</a>. Why is this?</p>

<p>Because the <a href="http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/wrappers/#werkzeug.wrappers.BaseRequest" rel="nofollow"><code>Request</code></a> object comes from Werkzeug, where it <em>is</em> <a href="http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/wrappers/#werkzeug.wrappers.BaseRequest.remote_addr" rel="nofollow">documented</a>.  Flask's docs just copy over some of the more commonly used information, but they do link directly to the Werkzeug docs too.</p>
