If you are hosting Yii behind a reverse proxy, for example nginx, and you are having issues with your logs showing the proxies IP, or the urls being created arn't being created for SSL because your SSL certs are located on your reverse proxy instead of the Yii server, this code may be able to help you.

If you're working a lot with extensions you often stumble upon problems, when you want to include them into your custom web application, like hardcoded or absolute path aliases or classes extended from core application components, which implement addiditonal features.

The article Fixing extensions without modifying their code reminded me of another patching technique that I used.
