Frankly, the bigger problem here is that MAC address is completely
useless if you can't even get the IP Address (which was the original
problem). HTTP doesn't provide that information, and even if it did
you'd be extending your trust zone way out onto the internet (nb:
using the X-headers would be doing this anyway which is part of why
it's a workaround of limited effectiveness)
