a ping by request a static URL.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>This method requires a redis DB and needs a HTTP <a class="reference external" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For">X-Forwarded-For</a> header.</p>
</div>
<p>To get in use of this method a flask URL route needs to be added:</p>
