Of course, technically, you can’t just take and “use” someone else’s IP, otherwise there would be no point in proxies and anonymizers, and Ruby and the HTTP protocol have nothing to do with it, addressing “lies” much deeper, not even in TCP, but at the level protocol, which is called IP, so that a request is sent from the client's IP address, it must be done on the client, that is, either JavaScript (but it has a cross-domain policy), or Flash (exploits are possible), or make a program that the user downloads and installs, a browser extension, etc.)
