You need to be using the RequestContext middleware - see 'option #1' on the following:
Once you've got that, you can then use {{request.META}} within your templates.
There is also a how to here, which shows the 'ip_address' as an example.
But in my personal opinion (in this particular example) using an additional processor is a bit pointless (unless the header is dynamic, in which case you'd use middleware anyway :X)
Hope this helps.

Folks
I am using the standard django authentication to allow people access
to various web resources. I manage the password/username logins
through the template login.html file and almost everything works fine.
However: I would like to show the IP address of the user's computer,
as it is seen by the django authentication module. That is: the IP
address returned by request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR') in the standard
django request process. How can I show this somehow in the screen
seen by the user? (the easiest would to be able to write this directly
into the login.html script, something like..
<p>Your IP address is {{ipaddress}}</p>
or
<p>Your IP address is {{form.ipaddress}}</p>
Help!
