I investigated this a bit and iterating the properties of `msg.req` using `for (const item in msg.req) {` does find `msg.req.ip`, however `msg.req.hasOwnProperty("ip")` returns false, which I assume means that `req` is derived from an object type that has this property. I guess that the debug output only shows OwnProperties of the object being shown.
