Description
Hi.
I'm testing some parts of my code which rely on ngx.var.remote_addr. Also I need to fake this value sometimes, like testing a rate limiter in which keys are generated from remote_addr value.
Is there any way to fake the values like ngx.var.remote_addr, ngx.var.host or ... for testing purposes?

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by inspecting how test-nginx constructs requests and exposes ngx.var values, then determine whether remote_addr and host can be overridden for tests. Done means the supported approach is implemented or clearly documented, with coverage for the requested variables.
