Invalid input for update_ip_address

Lucky you. Because of the higher cost we needed to switch back to SKU V1 as soon as the V2 preview has ended.

Anyway, it seems that this issue/case has already been addressed upstream by a merged PR and should be included since rack 2.0. But according to this issue it is still missing in the current releases.

Temporarily I apply a patch during CI/CD to handle this issue. It’s not that great but it will do the job until we see the fix in an upcoming rack-/discourse-release.

If anyone is interested, that’s the part you need to change to get rid of the extra port in lib/auth/default_current_user_provider.rb:

if current_user && should_update_last_seen?
  u = current_user
  ip_port_split = request.ip.split(':')
  ip_only = ip_port_split.first
  Scheduler::Defer.later "Updating Last Seen" do
    u.update_last_seen!
    u.update_ip_address!(ip_only)
  end
end

I don’t know if it is a good idea to replace any occurrence of request.ip with this quickfix anywhere else in that file or others (email_controller.rb, 006-mini_profiler.rb, request_tracker.rb) but it works for us.
As said, applying it as a patch during your build-/CI-processes keeps the code-base clean and updatable.

Any “prettier” solution is welcome.
