Chapter 9: Testing TokenBucketv2

[mshearer0]

In testing TokenBucketv2 by sending curl requests from a single machine i found using r.remoteAddr as UID gave a different value everytime as a new port was assigned for each http request. The throttle therefore was not envoked.

To test i truncated r.remote Addr to just IP by removing port:

import strings

replacing r.remoteAddr in the call to throttled with strings.Split(r.RemoteAddr, ":")[0]

Having read further could use net package SplitHostPort - https://golang.org/src/net/ipsock.go?s=4766:4832#L146
