A NullPointerException is thrown in line 49 of ServerWebExchangeTraceableRequest because request.getRemoteAddress().getAddress() is null when you make a request with an empty X-Forwarded-For header.
You can reproduce it with a request like this
GET http://localhost:8080/some-path
X-Forwarded-For:
The path doesn't matter because the request doesn't reach the routing system.
